Concert: Daniel Bennett Group In-Person
Join us for an exciting afternoon of Jazz.
New York saxophonist Daniel Bennett has been hailed as one of the most original and unpredictable musical voices of his generation. Daniel Bennett is a prolific woodwind performer (saxophone, flute, clarinet) and composer. The Boston Globe described Bennett's music as, "a mix of Jazz, Folk and Minimalism." Daniel Bennett is joined by master percussionist Koko Bermejo. Koko plays drums and keyboard simultaneously. The trio is rounded out by acclaimed bassist Jeff Dingler. The group was voted 'Best New Jazz' in New York City Hot House Magazine. The Daniel Bennett Group is celebrating the release of their 10th studio album, 'Mr Bennett's Mind' (Manhattan Daylight Media). Downbeat Magazine raves, "Bennett's light touch and quirky writing radiates a naive optimism with a folk flavor. A true original!"
Daniel Bennett is the associate director of the New York Jazz Academy. The UK Jazz Journal called Bennett, "an outspoken voice of hope in the global jazz community." Bennett recently played woodwinds in 'Blank! The Musical,' the first fully improvised musical to launch on a national stage. The New York Times called the show, "witty, likable and ludicrous!" Daniel Bennett's genre-bending sound has captivated audiences throughout the world.
