Daniel Bennett (saxophonist)
Daniel Bennett (born November 27, 1979) is an American saxophonist who lives in Manhattan. Daniel Bennett is best known for his "folk jazz" music. Bennett contends that his music is "a mix of jazz, folk, and twentieth century minimalism."

Daniel Bennett is also known as the founder of Bennett Alliance Records. Jon Garelick of the Boston Phoenix wrote,
| “ | What we hear in Bennett's light, airy saxophone and flute lines...is the great Jimmy Giuffre Three of yore. Giuffre also had a thing for folk, and Bennett is adding his own British-folk/American-minimalism sensibility to the mix. | ” |
