Ben Powell Quartet

Only in his early 20s, British violin virtuoso Ben Powell uses his classical background to inform his jazz performance, to lyrical and wonderfully expressive effect. The technically brilliant Powell, Berklee College of Music graduate, has already played with such jazz luminaries as Herbie Hancock, Gary Burton and Joe Lovano, and we can’t wait to hear his swinging Victoria debut. His fellow band members, all from France includes Cedric Hanriot piano, Bertrand Beruard bass, and Gautier Garrique drums.
