Benny Benack III Release Celebration at Alphabet City / City of Asylum, North Side

Trumpeter, vocalist and Pittsburgh Native Benny Benack III has been touring the world of late, coming back home to celebrate is new CD “A Lot of Livin’ to Do”

Benny Benack III brings his manifold talents even more bracingly into view with his sophomore outing A Lot of Livin’ to Do, featuring Christian McBride on bass. In his singing, songwriting, trumpet playing and showmanship, Benack brings a wealth of virtuoso talent to the table. He reveals not only a stirring command of the post-bop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Blue Mitchell, but also a sly, mature, naturally expressive vocal delivery in the post-Sinatra mold.

There is no admission fee but ticket reservations are required.
