Celebrate Jazz and an Acclaimed Musical Mind

BENJAMIN BOONE
Composer, Saxophonist, Music Theorist, Fullbright Scholar
Local artist Benjamin Boone’s poetry and jazz albums (including with U.S. Poet Laureates Philip Levine and Juan Felipe Herrera) are hailed as “albums of unmistakable…importance” (UK Vibe) and “a vector for the reflection of injustice” (Belgium’s Jazz Halo). Featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and Weekend Edition, Boone is a U.S. Fulbright Scholar to Ghana, Moldova and Ireland, collaborating with global musicians and jazz greats Branford Marsalis, Chris Potter, Kenny Werner, and Ben Monder. Step inside his musical mind and witness the music come to life.
