  • Description

    New line-up on 'Think Free' includes Jenny Scheinman (violin), Shane Endsley (trumpet), Rudy Royston (drums), Steve Cardenas (guitar)

    Ben has remained true to his composing on 'Think Free', again using cinematic, rock meets Americana sound defying any easy classification. The line-up and instrumentation has changed on 'Think Free' to include Jenny Scheinman on violin, Shane Endsley on trumpet and Rudy Royston on drums. The addition of the trumpet/violin front line brings a unique sound to Ben's compositions. Ben has been cited in Downbeat Magazine's Reader's Poll every year since 2005.
    The press has taken notice as well with Ben being listed in Downbeat's Critic's Poll every year since 2003 in a variety of categories including Bassist, Composer, Rising Star Bassist (ranking #1 in 2005, 2006, 2007), Rising Star Album, Rising Star Acoustic Group, Rising Star Arranger, and Rising Star Jazz Artist.
