Jazz
An Evening with Benny Green
About This Event
Benny Green appears at Dizzy's Club for an evening of jazz. Rooted in the hard-bop tradition and shaped by early study of Bud Powell and Oscar Peterson, Green honed his timekeeping and harmonic command with Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers; his playing favors forward motion and clear melodic lines over display, a perspective that translates naturally in a club setting.
