from DCIC website:

As a child Ben saw Kenny Clark play with Dizzy Gillespie and ever since he has been seduced by all things drums. Jazz trained but seasoned in rock clubs across the North America and Europe, he has been the progenitor of numerous groups including the Emo-punk innovators Junction, the infamous Delta 72, and Dischord's Capitol City Dusters of whom the UK's Q Magazine said, "...Dischord has struck another vein of precious musical ore".

Ben also performs with his wife SARAH AZZARA and has produced three full-length releases with her. Recently he has been performing and recording with Pup Tent a stream of consciousness punk group, also with folk-rockers, Sean McArdle and Stella Schindler among others and the genre defying DCIC (DC Improvisers Collective) and the The Caution Curves. You can listen to MP3s from all of Ben's various musical excursions at his website benazzara.com.
