Marco Benevento: Between The Needles & Nightfall

Read "Between The Needles & Nightfall" reviewed by Chris May

Marco Benevento covers a lot of ground in his search for the lost chord--jazz, rock, jam band and spangly pop--but the Brooklyn-based composer and keyboard player is no fusionist. To borrow a description applied to bassist and producer Bill Laswell in the mid 1980s, Benevento is a collisionist: he doesn't so much sit on the fence ...

The music of Garage A Trois is located somewhere on the map between do-it-yourself punk fusion and hip-hop jamband.

After the honeymoon period that was Tin Pan Alley, marriage wrecker hard bop, followed by the extra-marital affair with free jazz, ended things quite poorly. The children survived and played fusion, but the marriage was over. Certainly the reunion, perhaps ...

January 27, 2009

It's hard, even one year and countless spins on, to listen to keyboard player Marco Benevento's gimcrack riot of sound “The Real Morning Party" without breaking into a huge grin, if not out-loud laughter. The track, from the Benevento trio's debut album, Invisible Baby (Hyena, 2008), explodes with an irresistible love of life. ...
