Theodore “Cuban” BENNETT, trumpeter
From the
McDonald PA Record newspaper, October 22, 1959, page unknown:
MCDONALD MUSICIAN WRITES NEW SONG
McDonald has produced important figures in a number of types
of work.
In the music field “Cuban” BENNETT has been most
outstanding. His new song, “Sophisticated Gentleman” has
been released in the album of Ahmad Jamal’s “Jamal at
the Penthouse” under the Argo label.
The album was arranged and conducted by Joe KENNEDY,
formerly of McDonald, the son of Mrs. Viola B. KENNEDY of
McDonald.
The critics claim the song is quietly assured, smart,
debonair.
The May issue of the music magazine, “The Jazz Review”,
tells of a battle of trumpets between Bobby STARK, Rex
STEWART, and “Cuban” BENNETT. “Cuban” was the most
highly-respected trumpet player at that time in New York
City.
“He is a cousin of the band leader and arranger, Benny
CARTER, who also writes music for the popular television
show “M-Squad”. The great band leader boasted with
authority that “Cuban” could play more beautiful and
complex solos than anyone in the world. When he played,
everyone on the streets and sidewalks of New York rushed in.
He was terrific. I have never heard a trumpet like that.”
“Cuban” later lived in Camden, N. J. for a number of
years and in Virginia. He later returned to McDonald.
