Composer/pianist Ben Macy brings his unique improvisational take on various genres of music ranging from chamber music to folk to post-rock, all nestled surprisingly well next to your jazz favorites. Joined by some of the finest musicians from all over the Northwest, Ben's deep roots in the music of Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett act as a springboard to draw listeners in to these deeply personal, musical stories.
Ben has been writing songs for over 20 years, with a book of over 100 tunes. Ben's playing has been described as "coolly rippling, deeply reflective"(Willamette Week) and "stealing the show with blazin' digits, sharp but subtle" (Source Weekly). His fellow musicians also laud his skills, saying he "expands the parameters of the music" (Ron Steen, drummer) and "plays purposeful music stemming from good writing" (Darrell Grant, pianist)
