Maud Hixson has released her seventh album; a collection of songs by multi-faceted composer Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, best known for his classical works and film scores, and whose jazz compositions revealed his great love of the Great American Songbook. His last concert appearance was with Maud in Manhattan in 2012, and a decade after his passing, she presents his songs written for friends Blossom Dearie, Lena Horne and Cleo Laine, as well as some of his works outside the standard jazz repertoire. It earned a 2024 Bistro Award for Excellence in Recording.
