Marco Benevento is touring in support of his latest album Me Not Me, which features his interpretations of songs by My Morning Jacket, Deerhoof and Leonard Cohen among others. Joining Benevento on the ten track collection are bassist Reed Mathis and drummers Andrew Barr and Matt Chamberlain. Since its release, Me Not Me has received a wide range of accolades: Rolling Stone called it delightful," The Washington Post wrote this album is an intriguing sonic mosaic" and Jambase praised it as Benevento's finest hour to date."
In the live setting, Benevento fans get to hear him joyously explore the songs from both Me Not Me and its predecessor Invisible Baby with the juxtaposed stances of innocent child-like curiosity and subversive sound manipulation, all while remaining firmly rooted in the jazz trio tradition. New material continually finds its way into Benevento's sets as well, such as the recent debut of the Disney classic Pink Elephants On Parade" and original tunes, Greenpoint" and RISD."
