UM Jazz Artist Series - Benny Green, solo piano
7:30 PM (America/Denver)
University of Montana
Description:
We are excited to present pianist Benny Green for the inaugural performance of the UM Jazz Artist Series. This solo piano concert will take place on Wednesday, October 7th at 7:30pm in the University of Montana Music Recital Hall (Music Building). A veteran of some of most influential jazz artists including Art Blakey, Betty Carter, Ray Brown and Jeff Hamilton to name a few, Benny Green is arguably the most in demand jazz pianists performing today.

Green possesses the history of jazz at his fingertips. Combine mastery of keyboard technique with decades of real world experience playing with no one less than the most celebrated artists of the last half century, and it's no wonder Green has been hailed as perhaps the most exciting hard-swinging, hard-bop pianist to ever emerge from Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.
