Dizzy's Club, perched above Columbus Circle at Jazz at Lincoln Center, is one of the most intimate and demanding rooms in New York, a place where the piano and the audience are in close conversation with nothing to hide behind. Green came up absorbing the lessons of hard bop's greatest mentors firsthand, and that lineage runs deep through every choice he makes at the keyboard.
For more than four decades, Benny Green has been celebrated as one of jazz's definitive trio pianists. With Renovation, his first live solo piano recording, Green embraces the freedom of the unaccompanied format while drawing on a lifetime of experience alongside Betty Carter, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Ray Brown, and Oscar Peterson. Recorded live at Dizzy's Club in New York City, the 13-track program features original compositions alongside music by Bobby Timmons, Randy Weston, Hoagy Carmichael, Frank Loesser, Matt Dennis, and Tom Adair. Renovation captures Green at his most spontaneous and expressive, reaffirming his place among the foremost pianists in jazz today.
