Original compositions from Grammy-nominated saxophonist from jazz-and- beyond band, Kneebody.

$22/Advance $27/Door

½ Price Night for Students

(5% city tax and service charge not included)

Doors & dinner beginning at 6:00 pm

Saxophonist Ben Wendel already has a Grammy nomination to his name, has received

awards from Chamber Music America, as well as the ASCAP Jazz Composer Award, yet

the composer/producer/musician is only thirty years old. He is a founding member of

electronic-infused group Kneebody, which has been one of the most talked-about groups

in jazz of-late, and has collaborated with artists from Eric Harland to Snoop Dogg and

Gerald Clayton to Prince. Also an in-demand producer, Wendel still finds time to record his own albums, the most recent being 2013’s Constructions—to say nothing of his teaching positions at USC and the New School and the many master classes on his calendar. His forthcoming album, What We Bring, is his fourth release as a bandleader
and features eight mesmerizing new originals.
