Benny Benack III
April 13, 2017
“A charismatic young trumpeter who maintains an earnest sideline as a singer…”
– New York Times
Benny Benack III makes his Feinstein’s/54 Below debut as a bandleader, bringing his trademark charm & jazz chops to center stage. Already an accomplished jazz crooner & trumpeter adding to the legacies of his heroes like Frank Sinatra & Louis Armstrong, he’s ready to step out into the spotlight as a rare multi-faceted talent, singing & playing his way into audiences’ hearts. In his show One of a Kind, Benack shows off his composer chopsl, introducing a number of “New Standards,” seemingly taken from the pages of the Great American Songbook, yet completely new and fresh. Come see why Tony Bennett told the young man, “You’ve got the gift!”
