Ben Wendel All One LP (Raspberry Beret Vinyl)

All One is the inspired, multilayered and guest-starring new album from the master saxophonist and composer Ben Wendel - with every song featuring a different special guest forming a truly all-star lineup across the album. Layers of woodwind lay the foundation for very real and honest collaborations with some of the biggest stars in the global scene Bill Frisell, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Terrence Blanchard, José James, Elena Pinderhughes and Tigran Hamasyan. In recent years, the Canadian-born, LA-raised musician has taken unique ownership of a place in the saxophone world for his strong and focussed tone, use of electronics and forward-thinking boldness that has created a large and dedicated following. Known as the 'Brecker' of his generation, he is a musician adept as much in Jazz as in Pop with a language and sound that are uniquely his. All One showcases the fullness of Ben Wendel's talent as you've never seen it before - as an arranger, composer, performer and collaborator - and with his celebrity associations that have enabled him to pull together a stellar guest line-up. With a message of togetherness, friendship and unity, All One will confirm Ben Wendel's stature as an of the most innovative and prolific musicians of his generation.
