Ciao!Jazz featuring Dave Bennett--  LATE SHOW

2 STONES EVENTSAt 2 Stones Events, we are passionate about music and how it relates to economic development in communities -- the importance of building and branding a live music series, festivals and other music-related events, as well as the impact it has on the well-being of a community, its residents and business owners. We do this by creating fun and unique music events that support local non-profits and businesses.

Ciao Amici's

Ciao!Jazz features intimate shows with a speakeasy vibe, and April 19 features <a href="https://www.davebennett.com/bio/" title="https://www.davebennett.com/bio/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dave Bennett</a>!This is the fourth season of 2 Stones Events’ monthly concerts in the lower level of <a href="https://ciaoamicisbrighton.com/" title="https://ciaoamicisbrighton.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Ciao Amici’s</a> restaurant in downtown Brighton (217 W. Main). Previously named Kittens &amp; Crooners, the series has expanded its focus on The Great American Songbook to now also include other styles of the jazz genre. This is a 21+ event. ABOUT THE ARTISTDave Bennett doesn’t fit the mold.For 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.In the early days of jazz, the clarinet joined with trumpet and trombone to create the music’s signature sound, and it ruled the roost in the Swing Era when jazz was America’s popular music and dance-party soundtrack. If anyone can return the clarinet to its heyday, it’s Dave Bennett, who fuses serious jazz improvisation with a host of modern pop influences.Dave 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, 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.Dave has been featured on NPR Radio’s “Jazz at Riverwalk.” He made his European debut in 2008 at The Bern Jazz Festival (Switzerland) in a combo with jazz legends and Benny Goodman band alumni guitarist Bucky Pizzarelli and vibraphonist, the late Peter Appleyard.In March 2022, Dave and his band performed to a sold-out audience at New York City’s Birdland Theater.Dave is a Mack Avenue Records artist. His 2013 CD “Don’t Be That Way” met with critical acclaim. His second release, Blood Moon, which features five originals and six pop/jazz covers, reached No 24 on the Billboard Jazz charts in 2018.During the isolation of the pandemic, fate steered Bennett’s time off the road and pushed him into his home studio where he transcended his jazz leanings altogether. Released in June 2022, “Nowhere Fast” taps into the pain and joy of living in these trying times, the power of healing, and music’s ability to transform isolation into inspiration. Road songs, reverb-laded guitar solos that could power a surf documentary, and memories of loves and lives lost are the mile markers that make up his latest release. YOUR EVENINGDoors will open at 8 p.m., two-set (very short break) concert will be 8:30-10 p.m. There will be a "cash-only" (no cards) bar to enjoy a beverage during the two-set concert.
