About the artists

Philadelphia-raised bassist who grew up in a musical household and came up on the city's bandstands before moving to New York in 2011. He studied with Ron Carter and Barry Harris, has worked with Wallace Roney, Russell Malone and Louis Hayes, and leads swinging, groove-forward bands of his own.

Pittsburgh's Benny Benack III is a trumpeter and crooner with a playful, swinging style, the third in a family line of jazz musicians. He has been an emcee for Postmodern Jukebox, a regular on Emmet's Place, and recorded with Christian McBride on A Lot of Livin' to Do.
