Sunday Jam Hosted By Benjamin Henocq

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

Joey Calderazzo has toured with Michael Brecker, Bobby Watson and Bob Mintzer and has been the pianist of the Branford Marsalis Quartet for over 20 years. With his mastery and creativity, no matter what he plays - a harmonically difficult original, a post-bop burner, a swing standard, a romantic ballad, a no-frills blues... - he always brings his personal imprint and creative about music.

Born into a family of artists, Benjamin Henocq trained at the IACP; then at the Gilles and Nadia Touché school. He made his first concert at 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 La Défense Jazz Competition, then Django d'Or in 1998, he performs in many clubs, concert halls and festivals around the world. At the same time, he carries out an activity as a composer and director tinged with pop and jazz. He also enriches his creativity through the intensive practice of singing and dancing.

One Sunday a month, he hosts the jam at the Baiser Salé surrounded by very active musicians on the current jazz scene.
