Guitarist Luca Benedetti - a prominent fixture on the New York City scene - presents his own Trio featuring the exceptional rhythm section of bassist Tony Scherr (Bill Frisell, Norah Jones, Sex Mob) and drummer Tony Mason (John Scofield, Larry Carlton, Charlie Hunter).
The Brooklyn-based musician traverses gritty New Orleans second line grooves, Chicago-style electric blues, vintage R&B, Afrobeat, downtown NYC punk-jazz, vibey soundtrack music, and trad-jazz guitar. Benedetti has worked alongside such varied artists as Ron Carter, Steve Gadd, Jim Campilongo, Martha Redbone, The Brooklyn Boogaloo Blowout, Erik Deutsch, Jon Cowherd, Zephaniah & The 18 Wheelers, and The National Reserve. For his work as solo artist and a producer, Luca has garnered critical accolades from Relix Magazine, Guitar Player Magazine, Saving Country Music and Vintage Guitar Magazine, among others.
