About

Michael Benedict, named 2023 Best Jazz Musician by WCDB Radio (SUNY Albany), plays the vibraphone, a melding of a xylophone and marimba. Jazz Vibes, one of several jazz ensembles led by Benedict, features three of the regionโ€™s most sought-after musicians: Jon LeRoy, organ; Pete Sweeney, drums, and Brian Melick, percussion. Guest vocalist Kaitlyn Fay is โ€œswinging and sweet; a joy and a naturalโ€ says Peter Eldridge of New York Voices. The group performs original compositions, jazz standards and Brazilian-influenced jazz, aka Bossa Nova, that appeal to all ages. No reservations required for this free, hour-long concert; visit www.hvcc.edu/culture, or contact d.gardner@hvcc.edu for more information.
