April 15, 2013

Critically-acclaimed New York saxophonist Daniel Bennett has made waves as both a prolific composer and bandleader, and a very active woodwind doubler in the New York theater scene. Daniel Bennett recently composed and arranged the music for the stage adaptation of "Frankenstein" at the Hudson Guild Theater in Manhattan. The Daniel Bennett Group has recently shared concert billings with artists like Bill Frisell, Charlie Hunter, Greg Osby, James Carter, Billy Martin (Medeski, Martin & Wood), Steve Kuhn, Jerry Bergonzi, and David Fiuczynski.

The Boston Herald described Bennett's music as "exploratory folk-jazz hybrid."
