Bens Jazz Kit is Ben Reese-Guitar, Jazz Turnbow-Drums, Kit Vander jagt-Bass & Vocals

Bens Jazz Kit, well…the future of innovative and eclectic, yet still very accessible, energy driven sound! When witnessed,…one could be immediately swallowed by the precise and tasteful execution of such a fresh and cutting-edge style that is rapidly rising to the surface. Once in motion, this music reflects a deep sea of ideas ranging from R&B, drum&bass, choice hip hop, jazz and fusion, while still biting on to the outskirts of Rock N’ Roll. This sound has been coined as “award winning muscle-funk, the best trio until Venus grows a palm tree!” Ben, Jazz, and Kit come through like a thunderstorm of big, fat beats, low end, groove-heavy melodies, with a seamless blend of unpredictable and intimate spontaneity that will leave you on the edge of your bar stool or “stuck” on your tippie-toes! This demonstration is inspirational and a breath of fresh air, instilling in you, once again…the motivational and life-enticing energy that flourishes within music!

Some Press:
KEXP 90.3 FM Seattle Abe Beeson, DJ Audioasis KEXP 90.3 Seattle
- Bens Jazz Kit aren't another jazz trio, though they wouldn't sound out of place opening for Medeski, Martin & Wood, as these guys can get into a groove and bring you along with 'em.

John Coia, drum.com Boynton Beach, Fl
-Funk, Rock, hip-hop, R&B, twisted together in an unnatural order that somehow works in a perfectly natural flow.
- I was reminded of the likes of Primus, Rage against the Machine, and Stan Ridgeway (back when Stewart Copeland was recording with him).

Joe Nickell of the Missoulian Missoula, Montana
- an idiosyncratic blend of generally hard-driving but always danceable 
Music.

"Kutter" by Bens Jazz Kit

I play drums, have a BS in Music Business, and have been a natural entertainer from the jump; I've displayed a wide range of artists/groups that I've worked with in the past and encourage you to take a moment and listen.  If you like what you hear, I'm currently seeking the right team to join.  Location is not an issue as long as you dwell on Earth...someone stole my spaceship. 

So grab your earlobes and bend, this is big business!

-Jazz Turnbow

I play guitar.  I hate how I play, therefore I am always improving.  SUCK IT.
