NYC-based pianist/accordionist Ben Rosenblum will bring his brand new Brazilian quartet to the West Coast, featuring two of the most in-demand Brazilian musicians in the U.S., 7-string guitarist Cesar Garabini, and bassist Eduardo Belo, as well as Rosenblum’s long-time collaborator, Ben Zweig, on drums.Drawing from a repertoire that includes classics from many different eras and styles of Brazilian music, as well as Rosenblum’s own award-winning original compositions, the band will take the listener on a journey through samba, bossa, choro, forro, MPB, and a wide variety of Brazilian jazz and Afro-Brazilian rhythms.

Ben Rosenblum has traversed a truly unique musical path, one that has seen him perform alongside world-class musicians across more than twenty music genres and twenty-five countries, lead bands at prestigious venues across the world, all while maintaining a signature, melodic musical voice. Rosenblum’s journey has taken him on tours with Grammy-winning pop artist Rickie Lee Jones, Grammy-winning jazz vocalist Catherine Russell and Juno-winning contemporary Indian singer Kiran Ahluwalia. He’s played Brazilian choro with Ephrat Asherie Dance and Brazilian forró with The Late Night Show’s Nêgah Santos and famed forró band Forró in the Dark. His roots in jazz have led to an over ten-year relationship with Grammy-winning bassist Curtis Lundy, performing at festivals alongside jazz luminaries Bobby Watson, Sean Jones and Warren Wolf. He has appeared with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra on accordion, and as a guest soloist on piano at Carnegie Hall’s Stern-Perelman Auditorium with Maestro Reona Ito’s New York Harmonic Band. Throughout it all, Rosenblum has always maintained the same priority - to tell a compelling story with his music, reaching the hearts of his audience and connecting on an emotional, intellectual and spiritual level.
