Like a massive blender, all forms of musical expression have been mixed into the smooth consistently of originality. Pianist Don Bennett's playing is full of vitality, swing and cogent improvisations. He knows the blues inside out, has a buoyant touch and brings back visions of such departed greats as Wynton Kelly and Red Garland. His admirable companions are: the late, great Art Porter (alto and soprano saxophones) Eddie Peterson (tenor saxophone), Arthur Hoyle, Steve Smyth (trumpets), Erich Hochberg (bass) and Paul Wertico and Darryl Ervin (drums).
