A product of the small but talent-laden 1950s Indianapolis jazz scene, veteran drummer Benny Barth paid dues with the legendary jazz siblings Monk, Buddy and Wes Montgomery. A founding member of the popular Mastersounds ensemble, he’s been a Bay Area mainstay for five decades.
His beautifully calibrated trio features the highly creative guitarist Randy Vincent and stalwart bassist Chris Amberger, an invaluable accompanist who’s backed everyone from Dexter Gordon, Charles Lloyd, and Roland Kirk to Cal Tjader, Art Blakey, Barney Kessel. Under Barth’s canny trap set supervision, the trio plays melodic modern jazz with guts and soul.
