Benny Amón Trio at Bird & Beckett Books and Records

About

The Benny Amón Trio holds forth, with Charles Chen on piano and Mikiya Matsuda joining drummer Benny Amón. A Bay Area native who’s recently back from ten years in New Orleans, Benny is lauded as “a mature artist with large heartfelt visions and sensitivity. He is a spectacularly fine drummer. He makes beautiful sounds, he plays for the comfort of the band. He knows dynamics and timbres, and he swings no matter what the tempo.” — Michael Steinmann, JAZZLIVES
