Benn Clatworthy

A fixture in Los Angeles area clubs since 1980, Benn Clatworthy was originally heavily influenced by late-'50s <a href="spotify:artist:2hGh5VOeeqimQFxqXvfCUf">John Coltrane</a>, but would soften his tone and sometimes sound a little like <a href="spotify:artist:1yVmVSKnpfLDIAbghFMN3D">Warne Marsh</a> with touches of <a href="spotify:artist:1VEzN9lxvG6KPR3QQGsebR">Sonny Rollins</a>. He debuted on record in 1990, with his Discovery release Thanks Horace (which also features pianist <a href="spotify:artist:38hgx109cqpP10wUTiXfVB">Cecilia Coleman</a>) and, in 1995, released While My Lady Sleeps on his own label (featuring <a href="spotify:artist:7DCTgrI6aDK3nBRZm5RUKT">Cedar Walton</a> as a guest). ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
