Peak Jazz Series: Ben Sherman Quartet

A rising talent on New York City's vibrant jazz scene, Ben Sherman combines a deep respect for the music's rich history with a fresh, adventurous approach to improvisation and composition. His playing is expressive, inventive and firmly rooted in the jazz tradition, while always looking for new possibilities.

Sherman's musical journey began in middle school. By his teenage years, he was making his way into New York City's legendary jazz jam sessions, learning firsthand from the musicians who make the city's jazz scene one of the most exciting in the world. He studied with acclaimed saxophonists Abraham Burton and Tim Berne, developing a musical voice that balances technical command with creativity and emotional depth.

Sherman has shared the bandstand with Joel Ross, William Parker, Anthony Hervey and Winard Harper. He has toured with Freedom First, a musical project featuring Keith LaMar, and performs regularly at The Jazz Gallery and Smalls Jazz Club.

With the Ben Sherman Quartet, he brings together a group of talented young musicians who share his passion for exploration and musical conversation. Current quartet members are Roman Goron on piano, Solomon Gottfried on bass, Jacob Patrone on drums, and Ben on saxophone. The quartet's sound draws on the energy and sophistication of classic jazz while embracing the spontaneity and fresh ideas of today's generation of players. Expect inventive arrangements, expressive solos and the kind of musical interplay that makes small-group jazz so exciting.

At Caffè Lena, where every nuance can be heard and the connection between musicians and audience is immediate, the Ben Sherman Quartet offers a chance to experience an emerging jazz voice up close.

Come hear where the next generation is taking jazz.

The Peak Jazz Series is made possible by the generous support of Joseph & Luann Conlon in memory of Joel Moss.
