Awesome jazz experience at our daughter's graduation event
Being ardent music lovers of the Indian diaspora, it was my desire to introduce Jazz music to our friends and family and I couldn't be more happier than choosing Benjamin's team of talented musicians to fit the bill. Very professional and accommodative to our requests, the event unfolded with their music and it was a treat as they played some of our favorite compositions by Charlie Parker, John Coltrane and Miles Davis. Benjamin is not only a talented musician, but also a great teacher. Within a short period of time, he was able to prepare our daughter Madhu to accompany their team on a soulful melody on the sax. Great Job!!! and we are eagerly looking forward to the next event where we can listen to more of their wonderful music. Thank you from the Parmar family
Response from Benjamin Drazen Bands:

The best professional in NY
I'm from brazil and find Benjamin was the best thing that I did! He agree in my plan to make a surprise for my new fiancé and help me to find a photographer.
He was very professional and attentive. I send to him a brazilian music 1 week before the proposal day and he learned with perfection!
He was able to play specific songs with ease, and helped me plan out my proposal. I would highly recommend Benjamin Drazen for your event.

What to Expect
Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 300 minutes
I lead many types of groups so it depends on the style. If its R&B you will hear incredible and energetic singers with a band that plays a great groove!
With my jazz groups we play standards and some original material, and it would be more of a listening situation. To get an idea of the jazz go to www.benjamindrazen.com.
