I Have To Say I Owe My Career To The Master Composers Of The Great American Songbook Who Have Written Such High-quality Songs - The Best Popular Music Ever Composed.

"benedetto" Means The "blessed One" And I Feel That I Have Truly Been Blessed.

I Have Always Loved Jazz Music And As A Teen Growing Up In New York City And Then Later On As An Adult Have Great Memories Of The Jazz Clubs That Were All Located On 52nd Street. I Still Catch As Many Jazz Shows As I Can When I Am In New York. And When I Perform, I Have My Jazz Quartet By My Side. Jazz Musicians Keep Things Spontaneous And Very "live," Which Is The Way I Like To Perform.

I Still Insist That American Performers Are The Best Performers In The World.
