| Daniel Bennett Releases Second "Bear Installment" Boston Saxophonist Daniel Bennett has been busy these days. His quartet has been traveling all year, performing with Charlie Hunter, Bill Martin (MMW), Jerry Bergonzi, and David Fiuczynski (to name a few). Somewhere in the midst of this, Bennett wrote ten new “avante-folk" compositions and recorded them at the Finger Lakes College Recording Studios. The result was “The Legend of Bear Thompson," Bennett's second CD release in a trilogy of musical fables. The First installment was entitled “A Nation of Bears." Daniel Bennett is known for his unique mix of jazz, folk, and minimalism. The alto saxophonist masterfully blends these styles on “The Legend of Bear Thompson." The Daniel Bennett Group is performing the official CD release in a double bill performance with guitarist Bill Frisell at the Cambridge YMCA Theatre on August 16.
