An overview of his legacy as a singer-pianist, with tributes from some of his closest friends and an account of his life’s productive swan song. Few musicians can ever have been so multifaceted as Richard Rodney Bennett. But because he was such a colossus as a composer in the classical and film music worlds, his work in the last forty years of his life as a singer-pianist, interpreting in his own distinctive way all that goes under the title of ‘The Great American Songbook’, has not always received the appreciation it so richly deserves.
This affectionate tribute, in addition to exploring his swan song years and providing insights from some of his closest friends, seeks to perpetuate his work in popular music with a complete discography, prefaced by a kaleidoscopic overview of the many highlights.
