SUMMARY:DAVE BENNETT
DESCRIPTION:Dave Bennett doesn’t fit the mold. \nFor starters\, you don’t find many jazz clarinet players who name Alice Cooper\, Stevie Ray Vaughan\, and Chris Isaak among their influences. You won’t find many musicians who are equally conversant with the music of Benny Goodman (the “King of Swing”) and Roy Orbison (“The Soul of Rock and Roll”). In fact\, you may not find even one other clarinet virtuoso who breaks from his Swing Era repertoire to sing rockabilly hits while accompanying himself at the piano or electric guitar. \nDave began his national touring career at the age of 14. He has been a featured soloist at Carnegie Hall with The New York Pops (2013) and has been featured with 35 other US and Canadian orchestras including Nashville\, Houston\, Detroit\, Rochester\, Omaha\, Toronto\, Calgary\, Vancouver\, Orlando\, San Antonio\, Jacksonville\, Portland\, OR and Portland\, ME.  Some of his annual appearances include The Elkhart Jazz Festival\, The Suncoast Classic Jazz Festival\, The Arizona Classic Jazz Festival\, The Sacramento Hot Jazz Jubilee\, The Clambake Music Festival\, and The Redwood Coast Music Festival. \n  \n  \nIn March 2022\, Dave and his band performed to a sold-out audience at New York City’s Birdland Theater. \n  \nDave is a recording artist on jazz label Mack Avenue Records.  His second release\, Blood Moon reached No. 24 on the Billboard Jazz charts in 2018. \n

SUMMARY:ALEXANDER ZONJIC
DESCRIPTION:In 2020\, eleven years after releasing Doin’ the D\, an album paying dynamic homage to the music and magic of Detroit\, Alexander Zonjic got back in the throwback R&B groove with the release of another infectious\, high-spirited valentine to his beloved adopted hometown. Written and produced for the veteran\, multiple award-winning flutist by Pieces of a Dream keyboardist James Lloyd\, “Motor City Sway” – the infectious lead single from Playing It Forward\, Zonjic’s first collection on his own Hi-Falutin Music label – quickly hit the Billboard Smooth Jazz Songs chart and was one of the most added singles on the Billboard BDS chart two weeks in a row. Ten of the eleven tracks on Playing It Forward were produced by keyboardist Jeff Lorber\, who helmed the majority of sessions for Zonjic’s previous albums Reach for the Sky (2001)\, Seldom Blues (2004) and Doin’ The D.
