Working with Benjamin was an absolute pleasure. The music was beautiful, instructions were as clear as they could be, and there was space for creativity too. I would love to make some more music together, I can't recommend him enough!
check_circleVerifiedThe piece Benjamin composed was elegant, perfectly composed and performed without flaw. His sax solo was the exact touch the song called for and I can't imagine a better one or a better fit. Excellent work!!
