Marco Benevento is at RecordBar tonight, with Mike Dillon

There are something like 20 guests on Marco Benevento’s latest album, TigerFace. Among them are members of Phish, Ween, Tortoise and Antibalas. That tells you a little about Benevento, whose colorful, improvisational, piano-based compositions stretch so wide and cover so much sonic ground that the idea of genre seems quaint. Very quietly, whether with the Benevento/Russo Duo or his various solo projects, Benevento has been evolving into one of the most vital figures in jazz or rock or post-jazz or post-rock or, if you ask me, all of music. Catch him at RecordBar tonight, Tuesday, September 25.
