On BETWEEN THE NEEDLES & NIGHTFALL, the latest release from MARCO BENEVENTO, the Brooklyn-based pianist blurs genres from song to song, and more often from measure to measure, with his own take on simple pop pleasures, dance party rave-ups and art jazz experimentation. The results range from the day-glo electro-rock of "It Came From You" to the minor key psychedelia of "Wolf Trap" to the shimmering anthem "Two Of You." Speaking in modern sonic tongues, all cut-and-pasted, tweaked-out and glitchy, this is music full of wide-eyed wonder that rejoices in the limitless horizons of sound and melody. | ||||||||||||
