Sir Richard Rodney Bennett CBE (29. 3. 1936 – 24. 12. 2012) was an English composer of film, TV and concert music, and also a jazz pianist and occasional vocalist. He was based in New York City from 1979 until his death.
He was born at Broadstairs, Kent, but was raised in Devon during WW II. He was a pupil at Leighton Park School. He later studied at the Royal Academy of Music, he produced over 200 works for the concert hall, and 50 scores for film and television. He was also a writer and performer of jazz songs for 50 years.
He regularly performed as a jazz pianist, with such singers as Cleo Laine, Marion Montgomery and many others performing the Great American Songbook. He died in New York and was interred at Green-wood Cemetery, Brooklyn.
On this week’s show we feature the brass band arrangement by Howard Snell of the music Richard Rodney Bennett wrote for the soundtrack to the 1974 film Murder on the Orient Express.
