"As our excitement builds for what looks to be a widely celebrated release this April, we delve first into Edition records’ forthcoming Ben Wendel album, ‘All One’, boasting featured guests Bill Frisell, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Terrence Blanchard, José James, Elena Pinderhughes and Tigran Hamasyan. We then weave through some of the glorious releases in his arsenal from some of the biggest labels in modern music. Vancouver-born saxophonist and composer Wendel now resides in Brooklyn, NY and can be credited for working alongside such artists as Antonio Sanchez, Gerald Clayton, Daedelus and Moonchild while working with his own celebrated band, Kneebody, has been nominated for a Grammy.
We end this week’s contemporary eye with a snippet of ‘Tenderly’ Featuring José James as a reminder why you will surely want to investigate further ‘All One’. 2023 will definitely be Ben Wendel’s year, and we are happy to be along for the ride." - Steve Williams of UK Vibe
