Sub Zero 6:36 -- -- -- By age 28, trumpeter and singer Benny Benack III has proven to be a rare talent: not only a fiery trumpet player with a stirring command of the postbop trumpet vernacular in the vein of Kenny Dorham and Blue Mitchell, but also a singer with a sly, mature, naturally expressive delivery in the post-Sinatra mold, performing standards and his own astute songs with a thrilling sense of showmanship. His superb intonation and bracing virtuosity enable him to handle astounding feats of originally composed vocalese (complex solos with written lyrics). And he’s a highly capable pianist as well. -- -- Benny performs widely as a frontman for Postmodern Jukebox, the vintage music collective famed for canny old-school covers of modern pop. In early 2020, he released "A Lot of Livin’ to Do", the follow-up to his well-received 2017 debut album, "One of a Kind". This sophomore effort, richly varied in mood and brimming with bop inflection, features bassist extraordinaire Christian McBride and drummer/producer Ulysses Owens, Jr., as well as the radiant Takeshi Ohbayashi on piano and Rhodes. -- -- -- (Source: Artist website) -- -- -- Total running time: 1:00:43 -- -- -- UPC 614608653935 -- -- -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B07X235N83 -- -- -- Another listing by Zip
