Grammy Nominated Pianist, Composer, Arranger, Film & TV Scorer.
Everyone knows David Benoit’s soundtracks for the “Peanuts” telefilms, which have amassed over 20 radio chart-toppers, as well as his music for films produced by Clint Eastwood, Sally Field, and many others. His collaborations with artists as diverse as The Rippingtons, Faith Hill, David Sanborn, Marc Antoine, and CeCe Winans have earned him praise from both press and fans alike. His orchestral work with the Pacific Vision Youth Symphony (which he founded in 2001), the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Philippine Philharmonic, but what truly sets this pianist and composer’s success apart is his ability to reinvent himself and be appreciated on both the jazz and smooth jazz scenes. “Timeless” presents about ten original compositions that reflect his passion for orchestral music, similar to what he could conceive for cinema, but this time in service of his vision of jazz, inviting Brian McKnight on the track “The Surest Things Can Change” perhaps to add a smooth touch to the whole.

2 In Love is the 35th album from Grammy-nominated pianist/composer/arranger David Benoit and his very first release to feature a vocalist. Jane Monheit, the cool-toned chanteuse from New York, was suggested by Benoit’s record label and he says she was “perfect.” For three decades, the pianist has reigned supreme as one the founding fathers of contemporary jazz, but he wanted to show other dimensions of his artistry, influenced by Stephen Sondheim, Burt Bacharach, Dave Grusin and Leonard Bernstein. Along with Monheit, Benoit also enlisted the help of three lyricists: Mark Winkler, Lorraine Feather and Spencer Day. This talented triad breathed lyrical life into Benoit’s songs and helped showcase Monheit’s considerable skills as an interpreter.
