    One of the jazz worlds most distinctive voices, critically acclaimed Ben Black, recalls Little Jimmy Scott and Chet Baker in the timbre and pitch of his voice. With full emotional expression he moves effortlessly through the counter-tenor range.Singularly Gorgeous, says Christopher Loudon of Jazz Times Magazine. His latest release, “Remembered Faces/Private Places, opens a treasure chest of international wonders and surprise material; where jazz, pop, and musical standards all live comfortably together. The songs speak about being kinder to each other, on an individual level and to society as a whole. With songs from Armenia, Ireland, Japan, and Latin America as well as the U.S., the play list tackles different languages and difficult issues. With a strikingly personal style and hauntingly beautiful voice, Ben Black distinguishes himself from the rest of the pack.
