About the Album
In short order Ben Ferrell has established himself as a leading light of the next generation of young New York jazz artists. Since graduating from Old Dominion University and the Tribeca Jazz Institute, Ferrell has developed an instantly identifiable playing and composition style forged from his unique interests, experience, and perspective. Having studied or performed with jazz luminaries such as Pasquale Grasso, Kenny Washington, Cecil McBee, John Toomey, Grant Stewart, and Bruce Harris, Ferrell strives to honor the traditions of jazz while bringing a modern energy to his compositions and feel. Drawing from influences across the jazz spectrum and beyond, Ferrell's new album Sextet announces the arrival of a major new talent.
'Light Blue,' the 4th track on Sextet, is an exquisite take on the Monk classic, featuring Atley King on vibraphone, Rintaro Mikami on drums, Nick Rousseau on electric guitar, Reginald Chapman on bass trombone, and Will Evans on trumpet.
