Benjamín Brea (18 September 1946 – 23 April 2014) was a Spanish-born Venezuelan musician, arranger and teacher, mostly associated with jazz, even though he had the advantage to play several music genres in various bands as a soloist as well as sideman and conductor.

He worked with Jeff Berlin, Paquito D'Rivera, Julio Iglesias, Armando Manzanero, Danilo Pérez, Arturo Sandoval, The Jackson Five and The Supremes, while playing in jazz big band formats led by Porfi Jiménez, Alberto Naranjo and Gerry Weil.

In between, he performed with Soledad Bravo, Vytas Brenner, Maria Teresa Chacin, Ilan Chester, Franco de Vita, Simón Díaz, Gualberto Ibarreto, Los Cañoneros, Ricardo Montaner, Alí Primera, María Rivas, Serenata Guayanesa and Cecilia Todd.

His first solo album, Another Point of View, was released in 1995 and consists of jazz standards by Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller.

[3] His second album, Un Viejo Amor, is a more romantic offering and less jazzy, while Christmas Saxes was a production made by him alone, recording the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxophone tracks in counterpoint with the aid of engineer Javier Alquati.
