| Jazz At The Palace Stamford, CT The Ben Allison Group Sings the Music of Jim Hall & Jimmy Giuffre Friday, Nov. 13 at 8:00 pm Winner of Downbeat's Rising Star Bassist in 2005, 2006 & 2007, Bassist/composer Ben Allison's own music draws from the jazz tradition and a range of influences from rock, folk, classical and world music,and seamlessly blends them into a cinematic whole. For this special project, Ben teams up with two leading lights of the NYC music scene, guitarist Steve Cardenas and saxophonist/clarinetist Ted Nash to play music by the legendary musicians Jim Hall and Jimmy Giuffre. Classic, playful and quirky, Hall's and Giuffre's compositions serve as a springboard for the kind of turn-on-a-dime group interplay that's become a hallmark of Ben's bands. T.
