Chicago cornetist Ben Lamar Gay is one of the city's most adventurous and boundary-pushing performers, with a sound that touches upon avant-garde jazz, hip-hop, indie rock, Brazilian traditions, and experimental electronic composition.

A member of the AACM, Gay (who also spent time traveling and living in Brazil) emerged in the 2000s singing and playing a variety of instruments. He was a core component on Makaya McCravens Highly Rare and a cornet cameo on Jaimie Branch's Fly or Die, both of which releases were included in the New York Times's Best Albums of 2017. Suffice it to say, Ben LaMar Gay is nearly omnipresent in the current zeitgeist of progressive jazz sounds sprouting from Chicago.

"There is no one universe for Ben LaMar Gay, he just sonic booms from one sound to another. His solo debut, Downtown Castles Can Never Block the Sun, moves from fuzz-caked weirdo-psych to mutant synth-funk to giddy electronics to progressive jazz at seamless, whiplash-free warp speed." - NPR

Marco Benevento At Old Rock House In St.Louis

Marco Benevento at Old Rock House Wed Nov 13 2019 at 08:00 pm to Thu Nov 14 2019 at 12:45 am  It’s impossible not to hear freedom and excitement coursing through the veins of Marco Benevento’s new studio album, ‘Let It Slide.’ Produced by Leon Michels (The Arcs, Lee Fields), the record introduces a gritty, soulful edge to Benevento’s brand of high-octane keyboard wizardry—an uptempo, uplifting sound he playfully describes as “hot dance piano rock.” For all Benevento’s virtuosity on the keys though, the songs here are driven primarily by intoxicating grooves, with spare drums and minimalist bass lines underpinning infectious, intentionally lo-fi vocal hooks. The resulting vibe is a timeless one, filtering elements of vintage R&B and soul through modern indie rock and pop sensibilities and peppering it with the kind of adventurous improvisation that Benevento’s come to be celebrated for worldwide.
