Benny Green: Naturally
by AAJ Staff
On “Naturally", Benny Green offers due respect to several homes that are important to him. No, not a structure. That would be a “house". No, not Berkeley, California, where he grew up. That would be too obvious. In several ways, Green pays tribute to his father's, Bert's, hometown of Pittsburgh. Now, one may not think of ...

by Mark Corroto

To honor Blue Note’s 60th anniversary, Green arranged tunes by Horace Silver, Elmo Hope, Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson, Cal Massey, Dexter ...

It's hard to believe that it's been over fifteen years now since a young, cherub-faced pianist by the name of Benny Green took the stage with vocal legend Betty Carter and began turning heads. Stints with Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, and Ray Brown would follow, along with an active recording career that put several albums under ...
Benny Green: Kaleidoscope
by Douglas Payne
One must suppose the folks at Blue Note strive to uphold a certain tradition. Kaleidoscope seems to fit the bill; yet, like Benny Green's other Blue Note releases, it's all rather too derivative. The pianist clearly fares better as an accompanist (Ray Brown, Freddie Hubbard and many singers) where his sensitivity to style is an asset. ...
