Vibraphonist Behn Gillece began his musical training in his teenage years. While having an interest in jazz, he originally began his studies in percussion. Having been inspired by such greats as Milt Jackson and Bobby Hutcherson, this led him to make a commitment to the vibraphone. A New Jersey native, Gillece had many early performance opportunities in his home state, as well as Philadelphia, before moving to New York in 2006. His New York residency lead to some great pairings, among others, tenor saxophonist Ken Fowser. In the spring of 2008, Gillece finished his master’s degree at SUNY Purchase College. Some of Gillece’s awards and honors include winning the 2008 Jazz Improvisation competition at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention, participating in the 2009 Betty Carter Jazz Ahead residency, and winning the Generations competition in 2009.
