1st Sunday Concert with Ben Rosenblum’s Nebula Project

Sunday, April 7, 2024 from 2 PM to 3 PM
Encinitas Library
All Ages
Free

Award-winning New York City jazz pianist/accordionist Ben Rosenblum celebrates the release of his most recent album, "A Thousand Pebbles," together with his sextet, the Nebula Project. The internationally-touring multi-instrumentalist has been described as “mature beyond his years,” (Sea of Tranquility), an “impressive talent” (All About Jazz), who “caresses [the music] with the reverence it merits” (Downbeat Magazine). Drawing from an eclectic repertoire which includes selections from the jazz and popular music traditions, as well as global music influences from South America, Eastern Europe, Ireland and the Caribbean, Rosenblum combines his modern, melodic sensibility with his broad knowledge of a variety of musical lineages from the past one hundred years.

Since the release of his debut trio album, "Instead" (4 stars, Downbeat), Rosenblum has toured with his trio and sextet throughout the United States, including multiple extensive tours of the Northeast, Midwest, South and West Coast, and internationally in Canada, Europe and Japan. He was a featured soloist at Carnegie Hall's Stern-Perelman Auditorium – with Reona Ito's New York Harmonic Band – and has appeared at prestigious venues throughout the world, including at the Appel Room at Lincoln Center, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, Ravinia, Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall in Yokohama, Bird's Eye in Basel and the Library of Congress.

His second album, "River City," was called “richly romantic” and “well-realized” by JAZZIZ Magazine, which featured the title track as part of their Fall 2018 CD. Rosenblum's third album, Kites and Strings, was the first to feature him on both piano and accordion alongside his sextet, the Nebula Project.

In 2020, the Nebula Project was voted runner-up for Best New Artist in JazzTimes' Readers' Poll. Following the release of his most recent album, "A Thousand Pebbles," the Nebula Project was featured in an article in Downbeat's May 2023 issue entitled "Worldly Jazz Adventuring." Listen to the Nebula Project play Somewhere by Bernstein.
