Ben Rosenblum, The Nebula Project

March 8 - Ben Rosenblum’s Nebula Project - Joyful and borderless, exploring rhythms from around the globe

Ben Rosenblum brings his award-winning, genre-bending style to the Nebula Project, an ensemble featuring a diverse cast of New York City’s most in-demand jazz musicians including Ben Rosenblum – keys, Rafael Roza – guitar, Ben Zweig – drums, Wayne Tucker – trumpet, Marty Jaffe – bass, and Jasper Dutz – woodwinds. With the Nebula Project, Rosenblum’s pianist  / accordionist talents dig deep into NYC’s cosmopolitan roots to create a truly global music drawing from Brazilian forró, Irish reels / jigs, Bulgarian folk songs, Dominican merengue and Middle Eastern traditional rhythms, combined with roots in American jazz and traditional music. Since their first album release in 2020, Kites and Strings, the Nebula Project was voted runner-up for Best New Artist in JazzTimes' 2020 Readers' Poll. Check out Downbeat Magazine’s May 2023 Issue highlighting the adventurous spirit of this ensemble.
