Ben Rosenblum Nebula Project
A Thousand Pebbles, the 2023 album by Ben Rosenblum Nebula Project, so smoothly incorporates musical traditions from around the world that sometimes it takes a moment to catch what’s being interpolated into its base of jazz. It’s the second album by the ensemble and composer-arranger Rosenblum (who plays piano and accordion) wrote the music for these players — and it shows in the stellar results.
$20.
media release: Award-winning New York City jazz pianist/accordionist Ben Rosenblum and his sextet, the Nebula Project, will perform an intimate concert at North Street Cabaret in Madison. The internationally-touring multi-instrumentalist has been described as “mature beyond his years,” (Sea of Tranquility), an “impressive talent” (All About Jazz), who “caresses [the music] with the reverence it merits” (Downbeat Magazine). Drawing from an eclectic repertoire which includes selections from the jazz and popular music traditions, as well as global music influences from South America, Eastern Europe, Ireland and the Caribbean, Rosenblum combines his modern, melodic sensibility with his broad knowledge of a variety of musical lineages from the past one hundred years. The band never repeats the same program twice in a row - every evening is a unique experience shaped by the audience and the setting.
