Michigan
clarinetist DAVE BENNETT, is an authentic musical
prodigy who brings to life the classic sound and music of BENNY GOODMAN
(1909-1986) with incredible technique, style, beauty of tone and
naturalness. Dave Bennett has created written and "head" arrangements of
many Goodman "hits" and "swing jazz classics": Moonglow,
I've Got Rhythm, Body and Soul, Slipped Disc, Sing Sing Sing, Airmail
Special, Breakfast Feud, Poor Butterfly and many others. Bennett's
mature stage presence, knowledge of the dates and details of Goodman
recordings, and his penchant for wire-rim glasses, spats and
double-breasted suits, transport listeners back to the time and mood of
Benny Goodman's "swing era".
This activity is funded in part by the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the Michigan Humanities Council.
