Parker Jazz Club Presents: Benny Benack III - "This is the Life"

Thu, Oct 30

Parker Jazz Club is thrilled to welcome Emmy-nominated trumpeter and vocalist Benny Benack III back to our stage to celebrate his album release "This is the Life!" Benny will grace the stage joined by his quintet featuring Diego Rivera on saxophone, Ross Margitza on piano, Brandon Guerra on drums, and James Suter on bass. Benny has quickly emerged as one of the leading voices of his generation, headlining clubs and festivals worldwide. A rare double threat, he dazzles on trumpet—channeling legends from Freddie Hubbard to Louis Armstrong—and delivers sly, expressive post-Sinatra vocals that captivate audiences. His critically acclaimed albums, including "A Lot of Livin’ to Do" (2020) featuring Christian McBride, and "Third Time’s the Charm" (2023), showcase his versatility and artistry, earning millions of streams and chart success. Benny has also collaborated with the Grammy Award–winning "8-Bit Big Band" and toured with "Postmodern Jukebox," while appearances on fellow superstar Emmet Cohen’s "Emmet’s Place" and a residency at Smalls Jazz Club have brought his talent to fans around the globe. Recognized as a Rising Star by DownBeat Magazine and a finalist in the Thelonious Monk and Sarah Vaughan competitions, Benny brings energy, virtuosity, and charm to every performance.
