About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

During his years with the GRP label, pianist David Benoit became very popular among listeners who enjoy hearing melodic jazz-influenced pop instrumentals that groove in a generally quiet manner. This sampler has 14 selections including two previously unreleased numbers and tunes taken from ten of Benoit's earlier releases. Unfortunately the exact personnel is only given for the new tracks (a rather inexcusable omission). The music overall (which includes a couple of straight-ahead performances recorded for tributes to Bill Evans and Vince Guaraldi) is lightly funky and enjoyable if somewhat lightweight. Highlights include "Cast Your Fate to the Wind," "Linus and Lucy," "Freedom at Midnight," "Letter to Evan," and "Urban Daydreams." Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

April 13, 2009: This is the first CD I was given to introduce me to David Benoit's music. The gift was the Linus and Lucy song, otherwise known as the Snoopy Happy Dance. Since that gift was given in 1997, I have purchased 10 CDs and love every one of them. I never get tired of his style, the improvisations, the range at which he uses the keyboard - he's all over it! I've given this same CD to my friends and rave about Mr. Benoit's talent. It's refreshing!
