Description

Tenor saxophonist Benny Sharoni fuses classic bop influences of Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon with Latin rhythms and an energetic drive on classics from the American Songbook and dynamic original compositions Benny Sharoni is a straight-ahead tenor saxophonist, composer, and arranger who is a mainstay on the U.S. and European jazz scenes. Benny’s recordings “Eternal Elixir” and “Slant Signature” captured the hearts and ears of jazz listeners and critics, earning tremendous acclaim in the jazz world: “Sharoni’s crack quartet brings [an] exhilarating groove…he’ll let out an R&B-style honked bell note amidst nimble lines, and wax free in climax to an otherwise rail-running foray” - Michael Jackson, DownBeat Magazine “a voice quite his own, demanding to be heard on common ground with other practicing giants” - Raul D’Gama Rose, All About Jazz http://bennysharoni.com/music/ A Listening Room Experience Hermit Woods is excited to bring talented artists from New England and beyond to perform for you. Each performance will provide you with an intimate, up-close, and personal experience with the performing artists. To do this, we ask our audience please refrain from talking during the featured show. Your silence will allow the artists and the audience to immerse themselves in the experience, which is not otherwise possible in larger, noisier environments. All shows commence at 6:00 PM with a warm-up artist, Audrey Drake, on guitar. We encourage you to arrive early and enjoy food and wine while listening to our first act of the evening. The kitchen will close at 7:00. When the featured artists takes the stage we will ask that the audience remain quiet during the performance. After the show, we invite you to interact with the artists and purchase any music or merchandise offerings if available.
