Ben Sidran has been a major force in the modern-day history of jazz and rock and roll, having played keyboards with or produced such artists as Steve Miller, Mose Allison, Blue Mitchell, Diana Ross, Boz Scaggs, Phil Upchurch, Tony Williams, Jon Hendricks, Richie Cole and Van Morrison.
It's been a long and varied journey from playing boogie woogie piano as a six year old in Racine, Wisconsin, to growing up to play boogie woogie piano around the world, and despite the reality that Sidran is better known in Europe and Japan than in America, "a fact of life for most jazz musicians," Ben Sidran is an international superstar.
