Ben Solomon

Ben Solomon is a tenor saxophonist based in New York and a regular voice on the Smalls and Ornithology scenes. Originally from Chicago, he moved to New York in 2012 and spent the following years touring with the trumpeter Wallace Roneys band, an apprenticeship that shaped his playing. He later studied composition at Berklee College of Music and has written two published books of etudes for saxophone. In 2024 he released his debut quartet album, Echolocation.
