Benny Green Solo Piano

Benny Green Solo Piano presents pianist Benny Green in an unaccompanied jazz format, most often heard in New York City at Smalls Jazz Club. Known primarily as a band pianist, he has also performed under his own name, and the solo setting puts his touch and timekeeping in full view.

Benny Green is an American jazz pianist associated with the hard-bop tradition, shaped by early study of Bud Powell and Oscar Peterson. A key chapter of his career came with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, where his timekeeping and harmonic command were tested nightly.
