(born 1971, Freeport, NY) is a digital printmaker. With degrees in traditional paper-based printmaking techniques, Ben has expanded his processes into digital realms. He is an Associate Professor at Digital Media Arts Program at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. “My work examines the process by which concept is transformed from the imagined to the visible. We use words as a way of circumventing the difficulty this presents for those who are “bad at drawing”, and as a way to quickly and seamlessly transfer conceptions from one brain to another without embellishment. 8x8x1 is a way confronting the viewer with the problems of visually symbolizing abstract concepts.” Mariusz Dâbrowski graduated with distinctions in painting As an icon designer, I’ve spent countless hours plotting from the Academy of Fine Art in Warsaw, Poland where he was grids that are governed by parameters of varying a student of professor Stanisław Wieczorek, professor Walter constraint; e.g., width, height, bit-depth, operating system, Karling, professor Tadeusz Dominik and professor Zbigniew user demographic, and most notably, resistance to being Gostomski.

He is a Chair of Photography Institute, i.e., what is the most efficient way to transfer the concept Graphics Department, Academy of Fine Arts, Warsaw and an to the target audience under the given parameters? author of numerous exhibition and events, among others: And the parameters can be hopelessly oppressive–a 16 Warsaw Biannual of Media Art, Warsaw Art Photography pixel octopus, an 8 pixel clock, the debate over whether Festival, Spokojna Media Art Gallery, Fine arts Academy, to use a mailbox or an envelope to symbolize mail, and Warsaw; 2005-2007 photo open air workshop, in Sousse, North how to plot the concept of “Exit” all come to mind.

Songs From Afar represents two traditions, two musical worlds, and many musical elements coming together to fashion a unique identity that truly spans continents and styles. "Songs from afar is very personal for me because the album is intimately tied to my Romanian cultural heritage and to the jazz influences that help me find out more about where I come from – and where I’m going. It's not only the ancient Transylvanian folk songs that we approach in this recording, it's also how the other pieces and improvisations reflect the constant search for musical meaning" notes Transylvanian expat pianist and composer Lucian Ban talking about his 2 n d album with Elevation quartet in his 3 r d appearance for Sunnyside.

He is truly one of the greatest drummers in jazz history. He has been on thousands of recordings over his 50-year career and, in turn, has enhanced the careers of several exceptional musicians. He has also been a true friend to Healdsburg Jazz Festival, performing here 11 out of the past 17 years. Many people do not know his deep contributions to jazz and the vast number of musicians he has performed and recorded with over the years as leader, sideman and collaborator: Shirley Horn, Wes Montgomery, Betty Carter, Jimmy Smith, McCoy Tyner, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, and so many more (see the Billy Hart discography on our website). When he began to lead his own bands in 1977, they proved to be both disciplined and daring. For this tribute, we will take you through his musical history, and showcase his deep passion for jazz and the breadth of his achievements.
