DIGIPACK EDITION

Benny Green is such a player. His new album, Benny's Crib, makes glorious use of the Fender Rhodes. Green plays the electric instrument on all 11 tracks, adding the acoustic piano to two of them. In each case, he makes the Rhodes sound as soothing and introspective as the harp and as charismatic as the celeste. Green knows how lovely and sensual the Rhodes can be and lets notes ring beautifully.
