Ben Tiberio | Bass
Bassist and composer Ben Tiberio has spent his twenties lending a crucial voice to the upper echelons of New York City’s vibrant jazz scene. Ben was born into a musical household in Rochester, NY, and rose to prominence in Miami during his studies at the Frost School of Music on full scholarship. In 2015, he relocated to NYC and quickly began establishing his reputation as a versatile, forward-thinking sideman. He has now taken his talents across five continents, appearing at many reputable festivals and clubs. Ben’s bass playing has been a fixture in the bands of his generation’s biggest torchbearers: Joel Ross, María Grand, Veronica Swift and Immanuel Wilkins to name a few. He’s also been called upon by acclaimed leaders like Ari Hoenig, Shai Maestro, Ben Wendel and Aaron Goldberg, and performed alongside an exhaustive list of notable jazz artists including Kenny Barron, Herlin Riley, Gretchen Parlato, Jazzmeia Horn, Will Vinson, Jonathan Blake, Godwin Louis, Fabian Almazan and Terrell Stafford. Ben’s emergence as a formidable bandleader and writer is underway with the preparation of his debut “Rare Peace”. The album features all-original repertoire and will be released September 2021.
