Jazz pianist, vocalist Heather Bennett celebrates and performs music her newest album “Lazy Afternoon” on Summit Records. It is a wonderfully arranged jazz vocal recording with a quality lineup of musicians.
From pop favorites to jazz standards this recording illustrates Heather Bennett’s arranging skills and her rather ‘dreamy-like’ voice and its gelling with an incredible cast of musicians…the vocalist sings, the instrumentalists sing…From the euphoric start of Mobley’s trumpet w/ Bennett’s voice on “Zingaro” through a spine tingling rendition of “True Colors” (of Cindy Lauper fame) this recording is done extremely well.

We don't think she can get any busier - Tobocman brings them in a three steady venues each week. We hope she has time soon to record even more of her compositions."
