His career began to blossom when he started showing an interest in jazz\, just months before his 13th birthday. \nIt all started with a summer long workshop with saxophonist\, Odean Pope at the famed Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz in Philadelphia\, the only education institution at the time willing to accept a violinist into their program. Soon after\, Benjamin started studying privately with legendary jazz violinist John Blake Jr. among other Philadelphia based jazz luminaries on faculty at the Clef Club. \nSutin has since had the privilege of performing in venues such as: Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium\, The Kennedy Center\, The Apollo Theater\, NJPAC\, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola\, Lincoln Center’s Appel Room\, Smoke Jazz Club\, Microsoft Theater (Staples Center)\, the Nassau Coliseum\, Oracle Center\, Clifford Brown Jazz Festival\, Ravinia Festival\, Saratoga Performing Arts Center\, among many more. \nSutin joined Bobby Sanabria’s Multiverse Big Band in 2017 for the recording of their now Grammy Nominated and Jazz Journalist Association’s “Record of The Year” album\, West Side Story Reimagined. He is now a regular member of the group\, as well a frequent on-call sub for multiple salsa bands throughout NYC. \nSutin graduated from Manhattan School of Music in 2015 with a BM in Jazz Violin Performance. \nJohn Blake\, Jr. was one of the world’s leading jazz violinists for over four decades. Classically trained\, Blake first gained recognition on early-’70s recordings he made with Archie Shepp and in the mid-70s became established with a global audience during three years recording and touring as a member of Grover Washington\, Jr.’s popular “crossover” jazz band. \nHe then spent five years working extensively as a member of various ensembles led by pianist McCoy Tyner. Among other artists with whom Blake has performed and/or recorded with were the Duke Ellington Orchestra\, Turtle Island String Quartet\, Quartet Indigo\, the Steve Turre Sextet\, the Billy Taylor Trio\, Avery Sharpe\, Cecil McBee\, Jay Hoggard and James Newton. \nHe released his sixth album\, Quest that reunited him with Grover Washington and featured Joe Ford\, Charles Fambrough\, Ben Riley\, Omar Hill\, Joey Calderazzo\, on Sunnyside Records 1992. \nJazz Bridge\, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to assisting Greater Philadelphia Metro area jazz and blues musicians and vocalists in times of crisis\, sponsors these neighborhood concerts throughout the region to keep the sound of Philadelphia alive. \nFor more info call: 215-280-2254\, 215-517-8337 or visit online at jazzbridge.org/events/neighborhood-concerts.
