“Tonight, I honor a brother… Casey Benjamin, thank you for inspiring me, for being a light in my life, and for your unbelievable influence on the music world,” Hodge wrote. “And we will honor your memory and carry it with us.” Struggling to find the right words, Hodge added, “I’m grateful for you and will always love you! King, rest well.”Benjamin, born in Queens, New York, began playing the saxophone at the age of 8. He later attended the Harlem School of the Arts and the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art, followed by The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.
