Benny Lackner Trio: Pilgrim
by Michael J. West
The rock-ish but very adult Pilgrim is a cautionary example of why detail is important in jazz. On a cursory listen, the Benny Lackner Trio sounds like a Bad Plus imitator: the rock influence is heavy, pianist Lackner shares Ethan Iverson's harmonic trajectory and heavy touch, and drummer Robert Perkins' sound is superficially like Dave King's ...
Benny Lackner Trio: Pilgrim
by Dan McClenaghan
The Benny Lackner Trio calls itself a “collective," with each member “interjecting equally toward the construction of the material." This sef-description was certainly true of the group's previous outing, Sign of the Times (Nagel Heyer, 2006). It's an even more accurate characterization of the group's approach on Pilgrim.The “collective" is a piano trio, with ...

Benny Lackner Trio: Sign of the Times
by AAJ Italy Staff
Rivisitare o re-interpretare pop song di successo in chiave jazz più o meno spregiudicata, sembra essere diventato un filone d’oro da seguire e da sfruttare. Così diverse, nuove realtà musicali tentano di emulare i fasti di formazioni blasonate come gli statunitensi Bad Plus o i nordici E.S.T., precursori riconosciuti di questa tendenza musicale. Il Benny Lackner ...

At 29, pianist Benny Lackner has just released Sign of the Times, his second album for the prestigious Nagel Heyer label, touring Europe and paving way for his dream--playing at the Village Vanguard in NYC and the main jazz festivals around the world. I caught up with him at the Hot Club de Portugal, ...
Benny Lackner Trio: Sign of the Times
by Dan McClenaghan
New York-based pianist Benny Lackner came to my attention with the innovative jazz/pop outing Migratory (HeadFullaBrains, 2002) by Maroon, the group he co-leads with vocalist Hillary Maroon. That disc didn't make the splash it deserved, but in the music we loosely define as jazz, big splashes are fairly rare.Fast forward a few years--past another ...

Benny Lackner Trio: Not the Same
by Jeff Stockton
Pianist Benny Lackner's conception of the jazz trio places his music somewhere between the Bad Plus and Matthew Shipp's nu bop, with a smattering of Brad Mehldau in the crevices. His entirely original but vaguely familiar compositions serve as rest stops that space apart his trio's flashy, attention-grabbing covers. He and his band ...
