One of Seattle's most distinctive voices, critically acclaimed Ben Black, recalls Little Jimmy Scott and Chet Baker in the timbre and pitch of his
voice.

His latest release, "Remembered Faces/Private Places, opens a treasure chest of international wonders and surprise material; where jazz, pop, and musical standards all live comfortably together.

The songs speak about being kinder to each other, on an individual level and to society as a whole. With songs from Armenia, Ireland, Japan, and Latin America as well as the U.S., the play list tackles different languages and difficult issues. With a strikingly personal style and hauntingly beautiful voice, Ben Black distinguishes himself from the rest of the pack.
