Marco_beneventoYou never know what to expect from pianist and effects experimenter Marco Benevento, but you always know you’re in for a ride. Benevento has spent the last few years thinking outside the definition of not just what a piano sounds like, but of its place in a band. He’s not really playing jazz per se; the grooves feel more indie rock than anything. Indescribable and highly evocative stuff. (Royal Potato Family, marcobenevento.com)
