Richard X Bennett: RXB3

by Chris May
May 14, 2021

Brooklyn-based pianist Richard X Bennett is kind of the love child of Ramsey Lewis and Norah Jones with a head stuffed full of mescaline.

Bennett, who is by his ...

by Jack Bowers
November 2, 2013

A mandolin player opening his first album as leader with Dizzy Gillespie's mercurial “Bebop"? Wow! That takes a lot of (fill in the blank).
