With Every Step CD
Benjamin Ring – With Every Step (CD)
Debut Album · Fresh Sound New Talent · FSNT 687 · 2024
With Every Step is the debut album by drummer and composer Benjamin Ring, released on the legendary Fresh Sound New Talent label. This ten-track collection is a bold and emotionally resonant statement—melding rhythmic intricacy, lyrical composition, and honest storytelling.
Co-produced with saxophonist David Binney, the album features a dynamic ensemble of forward-thinking improvisers: Devin Daniels (alto/soprano sax), Jake Chapman (vibraphone), Javier Santiago (piano/synth), Jermaine Paul (bass), and Ring himself on drums and vibraphone.
The music moves fluidly between personal tributes (El’s Tune, Joe), artistic homages (For Lyle, Helping Hand), and vivid portraits of lived experience (To Lift the Earth, Fleet Week). Each composition reveals a different side of Ring’s voice—playful, searching, grounded, and always full of heart.
