SUMMARY:Leonid & Friends
DESCRIPTION:LEONID & FRIENDS have blown the minds of legions of fans with their uncanny ability to capture the spirit\, musicality\, and fire of American supergroup Chicago. Leonid Vorobyev’s goal was a studio project in dedication to Chicago under the motto “musicians for musicians”.

They have since expanded their repertoire to include Earth Wind & Fire\, Blood Sweat & Tears\, Ides of March\, Stevie Wonder\, Steely Dan\, Deep Purple\, and new original material. This incredible 11-piece band now has over 1\,000\,000 followers across social media\, an astonishing 300 million+ video views\, and over 300 successful US shows under their belt. The future is only looking up for Leonid & Friends. \nMeet & Greet Info:\nMeet & Greet is a wonderful opportunity for fans to meet and interact with Leonid & Friends. Quantity is limited at each show. Shortly after the concert\, attendees with a M&G wristband will be allowed to meet the band\, have a group photo taken\, and the opportunity to chat with band members and have merchandise or memorabilia signed.

His dual talents were recognized by Downbeat magazine in 2022 where he appeared as not only the #2 Rising Star Male Vocalist but also a top Rising Star Trumpeter in their critics’ poll. Now in 2024\, Benny was voted the #1 Rising Star Male Jazz Vocalist and #8 Rising Star Trumpeter. His superbintonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). On top of it all\, he’s a highly capable pianist as well. \nThird in a generational line of Pittsburgh jazz notables\, Benny follows in the footsteps of his trumpeter/bandleader grandfather\, Benny Benack\, Sr. (1921-86)\, and his father\, Benny Benack\, Jr.\, a saxophonist/clarinetist who gave the young Benny his first professional experience. Benny\, Sr. hailed from a Pittsburgh lineage that also produced Roy Eldridge\, Earl Hines\, Art Blakey\, Billy Strayhorn\, and so many more. He recorded the Pittsburgh Pirates’1960 theme song “Beat ’Em Bucs” and toured with Tommy Dorsey and Raymond Scott\, among others. Benny III returns to Pittsburgh often to perform\, saluting his family forebears and the jazz heritage as a whole\, nonetheless staking his bold and highly individual artistic claim. He is an endorsing artist with Torpedo Bags cases\, CarolBrass flugelhorns\, as well as various menswear fashion lines\, including X-Suit\, Alain Dupetit\, Proper Cloth & Vittone.
