Thank you for coming. I is Adam Benjamin. This is why you are here:
I am making Albums to be posted on this blog. They will be in MP3 and in FLAC formats, streaming and for download. They will be free. They will be uploaded one song at a time so you will hear the albums unfold before your very ears. The posts will be tagged appropriately so that you can always click on the album title under “tags” to the right and see what songs have been released so far.
Performances are listed in excruciating detail on the “SHOWS” page.
Works are available for sale or for steal on the “STORE” page.
Information about me for rabid fans and journalists is on the “PRESS” page.
Please be aware that to celebrate the Launchies of this website as well as the general Awesomeness Of Everything, I will be playing a Special Solo Concert Event in New York City this Saturday, October 11th. It is an unusual solo program that I have entitled A Celebration In Song: Part Four! and it will take place at the great new Brooklyn artspace IBEAM. Please see SHOWS for more details.
And, regarding this blog:
- It WILL NOT be a “this is where I am and this is what I am doing” blog.
- It WILL be a “here is my thoughtful, measured response to the most recent National Weather Service Southern California Area Forecast Discussion Marine Layer Predictions” blog.
- It WILL NOT be a “whoa dude check out this really big sandwich” blog.
- It WILL be a “And now, in five paragraphs, here is the most salient analysis of jazz education and its relation to American culture ever published” blog.
Now, a sample track from a variety of solo piano work that I will be releasing through this blog. Do you know the great Jazz Masterpiece “The Empty Foxhole” by Ornette Coleman? Sure you do! Here is me playing it on June 3, 2006 at the Banff Centre in Alberta, Canada. Please to enjoy.
