Martin Bonventre: Swingin’ In A New Dimension EP release celebration at The Laurie Beechman Theatre

Martin Bonventre,  a true old-school showman with a baritone voice, smooth moves, and a big, open-hearted personality, brings his show to The Laurie Beechman Theatre with the release of his brand-new EP, Swingin’ in a New Dimension. This all-new solo show blends a wide variety of music from the Great American Songbook to golden-age musical theatre to Tom Jones and Neil Diamond.

Backed by a killer band of seasoned pros, with arrangements by music director Jackie Presti, the night features:
•        Jason Yeager on piano
•        Tony Tedesco on drums
•        Boots Maleson on bass
•        Greg Ruvolo on trumpet
•        Geoff Burke on sax and flute

Expect a few dance breaks, a few good stories, and a whole lotta swing.

“As Sinatra learned from Bing Crosby and took crooning into a new dimension, Martin Bonventre has learned from the whole history of swingin’ singers — from Crosby to Marvin Gaye — and he makes music all his own. He’s a swinger for the bold and unexpected new ways things swing today.”
