BENNY GREEN

Pianist Benny Green brings his first solo recording in twenty years to Scullers Jazz Club, offering a rare evening of unaccompanied piano. Green reflects on pieces by pianists who have inspired him over the decades, drawing on his deep command of bebop, post-bop, and swing.

A premier jazz stylist, Green honed his craft alongside masters like Walter Bishop Jr., Oscar Peterson, and Art Blakey, with whom he played as a member of the legendary Jazz Messengers. The intimate setting of Scullers allows audiences to experience the full range of his artistry in a solo format.

Praised by Leonard Feather of the Los Angeles Times as a pianist who “has got it all,” this performance showcases Green’s ability to take the music in whatever direction he chooses.
