True Story

In 2016, the pianist Ben Rando brings together a team of exceptional musicians to deliver his “True Story”, first album in his own name.

Fascinated by classical music of the 20th century and also keen on folk and pop music, he signs a resolutely contemporary jazz album with a modern sound, carried by intimate and profound atmospheres.

Passionate about singing and built by previous successes with experienced vocalists, he chooses to give a key position to Sarah Elizabeth Charles’ pure and vibrant voice, who also writes the album lyrics.

Ben Rando’s music is at a crossroads, taking the risk to mix simple musical forms and harmonic richness, linking these two worlds through the universal language of jazz.
