On Friday, July 14th, 2006 at 8PM & 10:30, the Inter-Media Art Center (also known as “IMAC”) in Huntington, Long Island will present a concert with jazz pianist and composer David Benoit.

Over the last quarter century, composer and pianist David Benoit has been a passionate musical innovator committed to the exploration of many different art forms on the American landscape. A five time Grammy nominee for his extraordinary and seminal contributions to contemporary jazz, David Benoit began developing his unique personal style in the mid-seventies. He recorded a number of solo albums before his 1985 release “This Side Up” soared to #4 on the Billboard Jazz Charts, catapulting him into the national limelight. Since then he has recorded a string of top selling albums on the GRP label, played at Carnegie Hall and the White House and reached #1 on the Billboard Jazz Chart with “Linus and Lucy,” part of 1989’s “Happy Anniversary Charlie Brown” album.

Benoit has arranged, conducted and performed music for many popular pop and jazz artists over the years, including Russ Freeman and the Rippingtons, Kenny Loggins, Patti Austin, Dave Koz, Kenny Rankin, Faith Hill, David Lanz, David Pack, The Walt Disney Organization and Brian McKnight. IMAC is thrilled to welcome back this gifted artist.
