Golson, Benny
Multitalented and internationally famous jazz legend, - a composer, arranger, lyricist, producer - and tenor saxophonist of world note, Benny Golson was born in Philadelphia, PA on January 25, 1929. Raised with an impeccable musical pedigree, Golson has played in the bands of world famous Benny Goodman, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Earl Bostic and Art Blakey.
Few jazz musicians can claim to be true innovators and even fewer can boast of a performing and recording career that literally redefines the term "jazz". Benny Golson has made major contributions to the world of jazz with such jazz standards as: Killer Joe, I Remember Clifford, Along Came Betty, Stablemates, Whisper Not, Blues March, Five Spot After Dark, and Are you Real? Golson's compositions have found their way into countless recordings over the years and are still being recorded. He has recorded over 30 albums and written over 300 compositions.
For more than 60 years, Golson has enjoyed an illustrious musical career in which he has composed and arranged music for Count Basie, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Sammy Davis Jr., Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Benny Goodman, Lionel Hampton, Shirley Horn, Quincy Jones, Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae, Anita O'Day, Oscar Peterson, Lou Rawls, Mel Torme, and George Shearing. Golson's prolific writing also includes scores for American TV series and films including M*A*S*H, Mission Impossible, Mod Squad, The Partridge Family and The Academy Awards.
Benny Golson has absolute mastery of the jazz medium. He has not only blazed a trail in the world of jazz but is passionate about teaching. He has lectured and hosted workshops at Lincoln Center, New York University, Berklee School of Music, Manhattan School of Music, and many other colleges and universities. Golson has been honored with doctorates from William Paterson College and Berklee School of Music.
Golson's musical odyssey has taken him around the world. In 1987 he was sent by the US State Department on a cultural tour of Southeast Asia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma, and Singapore. A live performer who consistently knocks audiences off their feet, Benny Golson has performed in the USA, Europe, South America, the Far East and Japan for decades. This humble musical giant continues to impress critics, fans and fellow musicians with his prodigious contributions to the world of jazz.
