About this listen

 Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series featuring acclaimed jazz singer Martin Bonventre and arranger/music director Jackie Presti. We caught up with this dynamic New York City duo to talk about their 2025 release Swinging in a New Dimension, their creative partnership, the current state of jazz, and where the music is headed next. Martin Bonventre is a true old-school showman—boasting a rich baritone voice, smooth stage presence, and a big, open-hearted personality. With a career rooted deeply in musical theatre, he has appeared in some of the most memorable musical comedy productions, performing in regional and summer stock theaters from coast to coast. His journey began at the City Lights Youth Theatre in New York City, where his passion for the stage first took hold. Alongside arranger and music director Jackie Presti, Martin brings classic swing energy into a modern frame, blending tradition with fresh perspective. We get into the album, the artistry, their working relationship, and much more.Enjoy this conversation. 🎶 Get the album:https://www.martinbonventre.com/ For More Neon Jazz: Shows via MixCloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/neonjazzkc/Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/user/neonjazzkcSubscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-joe-dimino/id546432639?mt=2 The Home of Neon Jazz:http://theneonjazz.blogspot.com/ Contribute to Neon Jazz via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=ER Learn more about your ad choices.
