JAZZ CLUB SHOW - 7PM & 9PMBen Wendel is a Los Angeles-born saxophonist, composer, and producer whose work sits at the intersection of jazz, classical, and contemporary music. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, Wendel first gained wide recognition as a founding member and co-leader of the acclaimed saxophone quartet Kneebody, a group celebrated for fusing jazz improvisation with rock energy and electronic textures. His solo work has earned equal admiration, particularly his "Monthly" project, in which he composed and recorded a new duet with a different world-class musician each month, releasing the results as intimate, self-produced videos that captivated audiences worldwide.
Wendel has collaborated with Ambrose Akinmusire, Tigran Hamasyan, and a broad range of artists across genres, and has released multiple critically praised albums. Known for a warm, expressive tone and sophisticated compositional voice, he remains one of the most inventive and emotionally resonant musicians working in jazz today.
