About
Benny Green: Solo PIano
The art of constructing a solo recording is the ultimate challenge for most musicians. Pianist Benny Green believes that the challenge provides the ultimate inspiration, as he is free to take the music in whatever direction he chooses. For his first solo recording in twenty years, simply named Solo, Green finds himself reflecting on pieces by pianists who have inspired him over the decades.
Over his career, Green has solidified himself as one of jazz music’s premier piano stylists. His command of the bebop, post-bop, and swing styles was harnessed and cemented through years of study and apprenticeship alongside the music’s best, including jazz masters Walter Bishop, Jr., Oscar Peterson, and Art Blakey, with whom he played as a member of the legendary Jazz Messengers.
“When you say he’s got it all, you’ve said it all. That is the most concise summation of the genius of pianist Benny Green.” – Leonard Feather for the Los Angeles Times
