about

A note from Ben:
Thank you for your support! Recordings are quite expensive to make and your purchase really, REALLY helps. For this project, I wanted to combine my quest for memorable, sing-able melodies and interesting harmonies with my love of music that grooves. But what is groove? It's more than merely a collection of great musicians. Groove is, in and of itself, a study, a discipline, and an art that transcends style. It's the fitting together of all the pieces--every rhythm and styling--through thoughtful arranging and intensive listening. It's a way of communicating and existing harmoniously with others. These have been my thoughts while putting this music together. The styles are varied, funk, rock, Reggae, go-go, hip hop, blues-style shuffle, and more. I drew inspiration from the likes of Tower of Power, James Brown, John Scofield, The Brecker Brothers, and Herbie Hancock. Most of all, I hope it's fun to listen to and gets people bobbing their heads.
