Eli Bennett is a 35-time award-winning jazz saxophonist and a 4-time Leo-Nominated film composer based in Vancouver, Canada. He has performed twice at the Grammy Awards, recorded twice at Capitol Records in Los Angeles, toured North America, and has shared the stage with GRAMMY-Award-Winners Oscar Peterson, Hank Jones, and Terence Blanchard. He releases his debut album Breakthrough on Addo Records (October 7 Canada / November 7 International)
“With Breakthrough, I wanted to take the listener on an experience through exhilarating groove-based tunes combined with sophisticated but accessible jazz-influenced compositions. Every composition preceding the closing title-track was inspired and crafted towards the album’s main theme: the embodiment of the journey from inspiration into that defining moment: Breakthrough.” – Eli Bennett
Currently at #3 on the Earshot Canadian Jazz Charts, #14 on the US CMJ Jazz Charts, the Ottawa Citizen recently named Breakthrough as the #4 best jazz-debut album of 2014.
