Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series with Jazz Trumpeter and Singer Benny Benack III .. We caught up on June 8, 2020 to talk about his latest 2020 CD A Lot of Livin’ to Do during the inetensity of the COVID-19 lockdown .. By age 28, he 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. Get to know him ..
