The New York Years
In the summer of 2010, Daniel Bennett moved to New York City where he enlisted a new cast of musicians that included guitarist Mark Cocheo, bassist Mark Lau, and drummer Brian Adler. In the winter of 2011, the Daniel Bennett Group organized the popular "Jazz at the Triad" concert series at the Triad Theatre on Manhattan's upper westside. The Daniel Bennett Group currently curates and performs in this ongoing concert series. Supporting artists on the series have included Charlie Hunter, Steve Kuhn, and Greg Osby. The concert series quickly garnered critical acclaim throughout the New York media. Jim Macnie of the Village Voice raved,
| “ | Saxophonist Bennett (who also curates this new Upper West Side series) makes hay with an airy approach that's buoyant enough to conjure notions of East African guitar riffs and Steve Reich's pastoral repetition. | ” |
In the winter of 2011, the Daniel Bennett Group released the much anticipated new album, Peace and Stability Among Bears. The album was the third installment of the Bear Thompson trilogy.
