Daniel Bennett Group: Clockhead Goes to Camp
by C. Michael Bailey
Colleague Sammy Stein said of Clockhead Goes to Camp: “Clockhead Goes to Camp is an album which is easy to listen to but not easy listening. The tone is light, mellow and uplifting yet it has enough depth to give many surprises." These adjectives all describe Daniel Bennett's music. More ...
Daniel Bennett Group: Clockhead Goes to Camp
by Hrayr Attarian
Reedman Daniel Bennett's Clockhead Goes to Camp is a crystallization of the motifs explored in his previous work.

Finland did alright too, thanks to superb albums from Iiro ...
Daniel Bennett Group: Peace And Stability Among Bears
by Bruce Lindsay
The Daniel Bennett Group's trio of bear-related albums, the “Bear Thompson Trilogy," reaches its lovably eccentric conclusion with Peace And Stability Among Bears, a delightful collection of Americana-flavored jazz tunes.

Jon Garelick (Boston Phoenix) Boston Saxophonist Daniel Bennett has been busy these days. ...
