The trumpeter, singer, and entertainer Benny Benack III is considered one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary jazz. In 2024, he was recognized by the renowned Down Beat Magazine as a Rising Star in the category “Male Vocalist.” As a New York artist, he combines modern jazz with the elegant charm of classic crooners, captivating both audiences and critics alike. Regularly performing alongside greats such as Christian McBride, Emmet Cohen, and Veronica Swift, Benack presents both his own compositions and finely crafted reinterpretations of well-known jazz standards. He is accompanied by a top-notch rhythm section with André Weiss, Joel Locher, and Xaver Hellmeier—three renowned musicians who have been considered part of the top tier of the scene for years and are active both nationally and internationally.
