Bassist/composer Ben Allison is one of a few band leaders working in jazz today who has developed his own instantly identifiable sound. Known for his lyrical melodies, inventive grooves and inspired arrangements, Ben draws from the jazz tradition and a range of influences from rock and folk to classical and world music, seamlessly blending them into a cinematic, cohesive whole.

Fresh off their recent concerts at Carnegie Hall, Central Park's SummerStage and Town Hall The Ben Allison Band is winning fans and building new audiences with an adventurous yet accessible sound and a flair for the unexpected.

The Bansai Bills are an original rock band that is determined to revive jazz, blues and funk amongst listeners of all ages. Their creative bonds as well as their friendships were created when they were in grade school and have not stopped progressing since. The Bansai Bills have been writing originals and performing since 2005 but officially reunited in 2011 after bassist Eli Foose safely returned from a three year tour in Iraq with the U.S Army and guitarists/keyboardist Dan Galvano graduated with a BFA in jazz performance from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in NYC. Since then, The Bansai Bills have been delivering complex, eclectic and mesmerizing rock and roll performances with influences ranging from the classics such as Frank Sinatra, BB King and James Brown to the modern masters such as The Grateful Dead, Sublime and Phish. The Bansai Bills have a wide variety of covers and originals but any combination of their selections end up growing into an exploratory, organic and free flowing set of music. As creators the Bansai Bills are gardeners, not architects, meaning any tunes can grow into something completely different each performance. The song is merely a seed and its roots may grow into the rich soil of the unknown, leaving audiences on their feet and wishing for more.
