Live Performances → The Legendary Benny Golson
Comments Off
The legendary Benny Golson made a rare club appearance in Indy, performing at The Jazz Kitchen on Saturday April 30th. I raced from another show just in time to catch Benny’s second set with pianist Steve Allee, bassist Frank Smith and drummer Jason Tieman. Benny treated the packed house to many of his jazz standards including Along Came Betty, Stablemates, Killer Joe, I Remember Clifford and more.
If you’ve seen Benny before, you know he likes to reminisce about the early days in his career, sharing many great stories of meeting and playing with John Coltrane, the day Clifford Brown died….a real jazz history lesson from a guy that was right in the thick of it.
