Saturday Night Jazz Dtla Presents Askren & Benedict at Bar Fedora

Two solid musicians join together in a unity of the groove. Askren blends the best of Kessel with the modernism's of Martino, while Benedict's sound compliments and augments the overall scope to a full spectrum sound. It's hard hitting playing with listenable sensibilities, and offeres much more than groove.

It is mature, seasoned and venerable music."

One happily grooving quartet always deserves another, and this one includes drummer Paul Romaine,

a childhood friend and musical partner in crime of Jeff's and DownBeat critic's choice of talent deserving of wider recognition. Also on the recording is Hammond B3 organist Joe Bagg,

who seduced Dave Askren and Jeff Benedict with a strategically placed Hammond B3 in the studio where It's All About The Groove was being recorded four years ago.
