A
native of Tennessee, Tucker by the age of twelve, began to develop his
musical interest first on trumpet and later on the bass and quickly made
a name for himself in Nashville. Following a stint in the Air Force,
Ben settled in California, playing with Art Pepper and Shorty Rogers,
among others, and was an integral participant in the legendary "Jazz of
Two Cities.”
By the early 1960's, he was regularly performing and
recording with such greats as Herbie Mann, Billy Taylor, Dexter Gordon,
Buddy Rich, Quincy Jones, Marian McPartland, and Mel Torme. A
prodigious composer (many of his songs are jazz standards) of over 300
titles, Tucker's "Comin' Home Baby" was a blockbuster hit for Herbie
Mann, "Devilette" and "The Message," both recorded by Dexter Gordon and "
Right Here, Right Now" by Billy Taylor are just a few of the many title
songs that Ben has written and published.
Ben has been rewarded
and nationally celebrated by his appointment to the Advisory Committee
of the Kennedy Center for the Arts by President Jimmy Carter. Today, Ben
Tucker maintains an extremely busy career as artist and businessman,
playing regularly in Savannah where he has been active in the city's
artistic, cultural, and economic scene, and has been a major factor in
business and other matters affecting the interest of Savannah's minority
community and making the national and international festival scene with
the excellent Ben Tucker Trio.

Natural
de Tennessee, Tucker a los doce años empezó a desarrollar su interés
musical primero con la trompeta y más tarde con el bajo, y rápidamente
se hizo un nombre en Nashville. Tras una temporada en las Fuerzas
Aéreas, Ben se estableció en California, donde tocó con Art Pepper y
Shorty Rogers, entre otros, y fue uno de los integrantes del legendario
"Jazz of Two Cities".
A principios de la década de 1960, tocaba y
grababa regularmente con músicos de la talla de Herbie Mann, Billy
Taylor, Dexter Gordon, Buddy Rich, Quincy Jones, Marian McPartland y Mel
Torme. Compositor prodigioso (muchas de sus canciones son estándares de
jazz) de más de 300 títulos, "Comin' Home Baby" de Tucker fue un éxito
de ventas para Herbie Mann, "Devilette" y "The Message", ambas grabadas
por Dexter Gordon y " Right Here, Right Now" de Billy Taylor son sólo
algunos de los muchos títulos que Ben ha escrito y publicado.
Ben
ha sido recompensado y celebrado a nivel nacional con su nombramiento
como miembro del Comité Asesor del Kennedy Center for the Arts por el
Presidente Jimmy Carter. En la actualidad, Ben Tucker mantiene una
carrera extremadamente ajetreada como artista y hombre de negocios,
tocando regularmente en Savannah, donde ha participado activamente en la
escena artística, cultural y económica de la ciudad, y ha sido un
factor importante en los negocios y otros asuntos que afectan a los
intereses de la comunidad minoritaria de Savannah y en la escena de
festivales nacionales e internacionales con el excelente Ben Tucker
Trio.
