Marco Benevento’s latest album, Swift, changes the game up. The keyboardist who always brings the party goes even further, singing all throughout this release, a first for him, and bending the music from a purer jazz direction to one a little more rock-based and a lot more raucous. In the new video for “If I Get to See You At All”, the party is on full display, featuring GoPro footage compiled from Benevento’s fall tour, his farm, his studio, and more. Check it out after the jump.
Swift is out now on the Royal Potato Family label. You can get it at the RPF website, iTunes, your local record store (they still have those things, y’know, they’re pretty cool), and Spotify.
Also, if that video looked really cool, you could possible be a part of the part as Benevento swings through the country on the next legs of his US tour below.
