With a music career spanning three decades, Ben has topped the Billboard Gospel and Jazz charts with each album and has landed at the top again. His single “Rise” hit #2 this week on the Billboard Smooth Jazz National Airplay Chart.  Ben’s remake of Herb Alpert’s iconic jazz hit features Marion Meadows on sax and is the first single from his RISE album which peaked at #13 on Billboard Top Gospel Albums Chart. RISE, released on his Ben-Jamin Universal Music record label, features collaborations with Paul Jackson, Jr. on “More Rain”, and with Kirk Whalum on “It’s Working”.
