New York saxophonist Daniel Bennett has been hailed as one of the most original and unpredictable musical voices of his generation.

The Daniel Bennett Group performs a special CD release concert at the Arapahoe Library ‘Jazz in the Garden’ Series.

Daniel Bennett is a prolific woodwind performer (saxophone, flute, clarinet). The veteran bandleader was voted ‘Best New Jazz’ in New York City Hot House Magazine.

Bennett is joined by Koko Bermejo on drums and keyboard simultaneously and bassist Kevin Hailey. They are celebrating the release of their new 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!”

The New York bandleader is celebrating 20 years as a composer and musical frontman. The Boston Globe described Bennett’s new music as “a mix of jazz, folk and minimalism.” 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.
