Don Bennett
 
This prominent mainstream pianist, who passed away in January 2004, made many contributions to the music world. During his absence from Chicago, when he spent four years in Europe -- and more generally over the past decade -- Bennett refined his formerly muscular hard-bop and two-fisted bluesy swing, focusing on more compact and delicate improvisations. His Simplexity (1997) out of the British Candid Records was a trio date recorded while living in Amsterdam. Drummer George Fludas was his usual Chicago partner.
