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.
