| |
| Bassist-composer Ben Wolfe has recently released |
| his new CD, No Strangers Here on MAXJAZZ. As |
| Wynton Marsalis said, Ben Wolfe swings with |
| authority. And as can be heard from Bens |
| original compositions on this, his fifth and |
| newest CD, Ben also innovates and scores with |
| authority. Downbeat Magazine says, He hews to |
| the aesthetic of group interplay and the rhythms |
| of bebop, and displays a well-honed sense of |
| sonic narrative. The New York Times says, In |
| this music Mingus and Miles Davis meet Bartok and |
| Bernard Herrmann |
| |
| In January 2008, The New York Sun reviewed Bens |
| new composition, From Here I See, commissioned by |
| the Rubin Museum for the Harlem in the Himalayas |
| series as a piece Bernstein would doubtlessly |
| have approved of. Like many of Bens |
| compositions, this 25-minute Suite fell into line |
| with the jazz concept of a double quartet a |
| format that combines the standard jazz quartet |
| with the standard string quartet. |
| |
| Ben Wolfes work is a true ensemble expressed |
| in the group sound, rather than dominated by |
| extended solos. Chamber Music America awarded Ben |
| the 2004 New Works: Creation and Presentation |
| Program Grant, funded through the generosity of |
| the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. As a result |
| of this award, Ben was able to compose his |
| extended composition Contradiction: Music for |
| Sextet. |
| |
| Ben also recently made his mark as a film |
| composer, working with Matthew Modine on the film |
| short, I Think I Thought. At the 2008 Tribeca |
| Film Festival, The New York Sun reviewed Bens |
| work on this film as, a standout music score. |
| Born in Baltimore, Maryland and raised in |
| Portland, Oregon, Ben has gained a large |
| following from his performances with Wynton |
| Marsalis, Harry Connick Jr., and Diana Krall. |
| |
| Early on in Bens career, he formed a Duo with |
| Harry Connick Jr. and went on to record over a |
| dozen albums and soundtracks. During his five |
| years with Connick, he performed on numerous |
| world tours as musical director. He then joined |
| the Wynton Marsalis Septet and remained until it |
| disbanded. Ben also became an integral part of |
| Diana Kralls touring band and played on many of |
| her recordings, including the Grammy Award |
| winning CD, When I Look In Your Eyes. |
| When a member of The Jazz at Lincoln Center |
| Orchestra (JLCO), Ben performed with Joe |
| Henderson, Doc Cheatham, Jon Hendricks, Harry |
| Sweets Edison, and Billy Higgins, among others. |
| Other artists he has also recorded with include |
| Branford Marsalis, James Moody, Eric Reed, Carl |
| Allen, and Benny Green. In addition to his latest |
| CD, Bens previous recordings include 13 |
| Sketches (1996) and Bagdad Theater (1997), |
| both released on Mons Records; the critically |
| acclaimed Murrays Cadillac (2000) on Amosaya |
| Music; and My Kinda Beautiful (2004) on Planet |
| Arts Records. |
| |
| Ben is currently on the teaching faculty at The |
| Julliard School: Jazz Division. |
