MJI PRESENTS: Benny Benack

The Milwaukee Jazz Institute is proud to host Benny Benack III during his Midwest tour. Just a whisker over 30, Benny Benack III has proven to be a rare talent. He is a fiery trumpet player and also a singer with a sly, naturally expressive nature in the post-Sinatra mold. Benny performs standards and his own astute compositions with high-octane showmanship.
