Splendid Vinnie!! Not surprised Mr. Bennett has received so much love from the "Jazz Press", not just for his longevity but also his championing of Black composers, causes, and musicians. On top of all that, he sure could sing!

'm only finding out now that Bennett recorded with Brookmeyer and co. in 1964, although that album, "Bob Brookmeyer and Friends," has been a favorite for years (it also has a young Gary Burton on vibes, who apparently wasn't used with Bennett). I'm thinking the Bennett song wasn't on the original album and was released later on. Now I have to track these collaborations down. Thanks for the information!
