Jazz Musician of the Day: Benny Green
All About Jazz is celebrating Benny Green's birthday today!
Born in New York in 1963, Benny Green grew up in Berkeley, California, and began classical piano studies at the age of seven. Influenced by his father, a tenor saxophonist, his attention soon turned into Jazz: “I began trying to improvise on the piano, imitating the records I\'d been hearing from my father\'s collection, which included a lot of Monk and Bird… it was a gradual process of teaching myself"...Born in New York in 1963, Benny Green grew up in Berkeley, California, and began classical piano studies at the age of seven.
