Savannah Jazz presents The Ben Rosenblum Trio

Pianist, accordionist, and composer Ben Rosenblum has traversed a truly unique musical path that has seen him perform alongside world-class musicians across more than twenty music genres and twenty-five countries. He has toured with Grammy-winning pop artist Rickie Lee Jones and Juno-winning contemporary Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia. He’s played Brazilian choro with The Late Night Show’s Nêgah Santos and the famed forró band Forró in the Dark. His roots in jazz have led to an over ten-year relationship with Grammy-winning bassist Curtis Lundy, performing at festivals alongside jazz luminaries Bobby Watson, Sean Jones and Warren Wolf. He has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on accordion, and as a guest soloist on piano at Carnegie Hall’s Stern-Perelman Auditorium with the New York Harmonic Band.

Since his first album as a leader, Instead (4 stars, Downbeat Magazine), he released three follow-up records to critical acclaim. Rosenblum has brought his bands to perform at some of the world’s most respected music venues, the Library of Congress, Bird’s Eye (Basel) and Yokohama’s Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall. At any given show, Rosenblum might draw on influences from ten or more countries, with interests going beyond jazz to include various music traditions from South America, Eastern Europe, Ireland, India, the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
