Premiere Performances Jazz: Benny Benack III Quartet

EVENT DESCRIPTION

This May, join us at the Tea House Theatre and enjoy celebrated performance of the Benny Benack III Quartet.

Presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center, the performance spotlights the multi-faceted talent of Emmy-nominated Benny Benack III, whose artistry earned him the title Rising Star Male Vocalist in the 2025 Downbeat Readers Poll and placed him among the top ten Rising Star Trumpeters.

As a bandleader, trumpet soloist and vocalist, Benack has toured internationally and collaborated with renowned artists such as Grammy Award-winning musicians Christian McBride and Ulysses Owens Jr., and Broadway and jazz singer Ann Hampton Callaway. He has also performed as a guest artist with the Pittsburgh Symphony Pops Orchestra, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra and the Minsk Philharmonic Orchestra.

This showcase event features Benny Benack III on trumpet and vocals, Joe Peri on drums, Caleb Tobocman on bass, and Jon Thomas on piano – a compelling combination that promises a night to remember.

The Quartet will be playing two different sets for the 7pm and 9pm shows.
