Sunday Jam Hosted By Benjamin Henocq

"More known in the world of jazz, but also effective and involved in funk, pop, Benjamin continues to learn again and again, despite an already full career "
DRUMMER MAGAZINE

Born in a family of artists, Benjamin Henocq trained at the IACP, then at the Gilles and Nadia Touché school. He made his first concert at the age of 12 and became a drum teacher at 17. He is the co-leader of the jazz band Prysm.

Elected best soloist and best group with Prysm at the Concours de Jazz de La Défense, then Django d'Or in 1998, he performs in many clubs, concert halls and festivals around the world. At the same time, he works as a composer and producer with a pop and jazz background. He also enriches his creativity through intensive singing and dancing.  

This Sunday, he pays tribute to Miles Davis, the mythical trumpet player who left behind him a gigantic legacy that has left its mark on the history of music. Since his beginnings in the modern jazz circle, he has come to perceive new worlds of sound and new challenges. While the vast majority of musicians - whether in jazz, rock, R&B or elsewhere - eventually run out of steam with the experimental charge and imperviousness of youth, Miles has always moved forward. In the process, Miles has become the standard bearer for successive generations of musicians, and has shaped the course of modern improvised music more than half a dozen times over.
