Ben Goldberg

Since the quarantine began, I have been doing my best to record a new song every day. The songs are collected in a free bandcamp album called PLAGUE DIARY. It's free because it's yours. /album/plague-diary #musicrelief @motherwolfofficial @jazzmafiaofficial

I based songs on Dean Young's poems, and Dean based new poems on my songs, and with the beautiful playing of Ron Miles, and @nelscline , my new record, "Good Day for Cloud Fishing" was created. ⠀ ⠀ ☁️🎣Find it on @bandcamp .

"Taken alone, the music stands as a stellar document of small-group jazz, but the poetry enriches the experience." Thank you @wsj for this review of my new record, "Good Day for Cloud Fishing," out tomorrow ☁️🎣

Okay, I guess that's it for #BG60 at #TheStone . My heartfelt thanks to all who came to listen to the music with us, it was great to see you and be in it together. A deep debt of gratitude to the beautiful musicians who were with me through the week. The sounds were so beautiful and they will be with me for a long time. 🎵

This whole week has been incredible and I'm sad that  Ben Goldberg 60 at The Stone must end with today's concert. But not at all sad about how we are going out, in other words @nelscline on electric guitar, in other words Tom Rainey on the drums and in other words our trio playing music for you. I can't imagine anything quite so exactly how it will be.

Really having a blast at The Stone this week! The crowds have been wonderful, and thank you if you have been among them. Tonight we present a #Quartet of @ravicoltrane , @lightcapchris , Gerald Cleaver, and myself. One set at 8:30 pm. Stop on by.
