The Ben Sidran Shuffle

A discography that spans five-decades is hard to squeeze in a little more than an hour. To show the many stylistic sides of pianist, singer and composer (but also producer, musicologist, journalist, scholar and all-around jazz statesman) Ben Sidran, we have put together this playlist which shuffles back and forth between his early and late albums. If you're not yet familiar with his work do yourself a favor, press play on the player without hesitation, and soon you'll be on the lookout for his albums. If you're a long-time fan, here's a refresher to bring some joy back in these times of self-imposed seclusion.

Happy listening!
