Currently living in Brooklyn, NY, he has enjoyed a varied career as a performer, composer and producer. Highlights include tours, performances and\/or recordings with artists such as Terence Blanchard, Bill Frisell, C\u00e9cile McLorin Salvant, Tigran Hamasyan, Antonio Sanchez, Gerald Clayton, Eric Harland, Taylor Eigsti, Linda May Han Oh, Moonchild, Louis Cole, Daedelus, Snoop Dogg and the artist formerly known as Prince. Ben is a founding member of the Grammy nominated group Kneebody. His 2023 record, All One , was nominated for a GRAMMY in the Best Contemporary Instrumental Album category. Edition Records will launch Wendel\u2019s highly anticipated follow up album , Understory: Live at the Village Vanguard October 4, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multi GRAMMY\u00ae nominated, Brooklyn &#8211; based saxophonist Ben Wendel was born in Vancouver, Canada and grew up in Santa Monica, California. His band in high school, a quintet called Tres Gatos, included Terrace Martin (the saxophonist and producer who as part of the Brainfeeder collective has worked with artists such as Kendrick Lamar and whose recent effort Gray Area involves Wendel) and Alfred Darlington (the electronic artist and producer known as Daed elus).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both remain close associates, part of Wendel\u2019s impressively &#8211; diverse circle. Throughout his career, the saxophonist has pursued a genre &#8211; neutral Yes &#8211; To &#8211; All approach to music. He\u2019s recorded or performed with legendary hitmakers ( Prince, Snoop Dogg ) a nd jazz firebrands (Terence Blachard, Bill Frisell, C\u00e9cile McLorin Salvant, Tigran Hamasyan, Aaron Parks, Ignacio Berroa, Taylor Eigsti, Linda May Han Oh, Antonio Sanchez, Gerald Clayton ) and people whose work resists classification entirely (Louis Cole, D aedelus, Julia Holter, Moonchild, Jos\u00e9 James ).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a composer, he has received an ASCAP Jazz Composer Award, the 2008, 2011 and 2017 Chamber Music America \u201cNew Works Grant\u201d and was awarded the Victor Lynch &#8211; Staunton award by the Canada Council For The Arts. He also co &#8211; wrote the score for John Krasinski&#8217;s adaptation of David Foster Wallace\u2019s &#8220;Brief Interviews With Hideous Men.&#8221; He has logged six separate weeks as the headliner at the Village Vanguard. Wendel is aware that this diverse range of activity makes him hard to pin down \u2013 a challenge that will only increase with the sweeping invention of Understory: Live at the Village Vanguard<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben was honored to work with conductor Kent Nagano in producing a series of concerts for the Festspiel Plus in Munich, Germ any. From 2008 to 2015, he produced a multi &#8211; genre performance series at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica, California. During that time he was appointed the head of their Jazz and Blues initiative, which included producing and expanding performance opportuni ties for these genres in Los Angeles. As part of this appointment, Ben helped to create an artistic council which included such luminaries as Quincy Jones, Herb Alpert and Luciana Souza. Ben\u2019s producer work includes the GRAMMY\u00ae nominated album &#8220;Life Forum&#8221; for pianist Gerald Clayton on Concord Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ben has recorded for Edition Records, Sunnyside Records, Mot\u00e9ma Music, Concord Records and Brainfeeder, with six solo albums under his belt, Simple Song (2009), Frame (2012), What We Bring (2016) The Seasons (2018), High Heart (2020), All One (2023) a duo project with French &#8211; American pianist Dan Tepfer entitled Small Constructions (2013) and multiple Kneebody albums.
