- Dean Benedetti was a saxophone player best known for his recordings of fellow saxophonist Charlie Parker. As a tenor saxaphonist and band leader in California, Benedetti first heard a record of Parker in the Spring of 1945. Deeply influenced by the player, Benedetti began to study Parker, transcribing solos, building them into set pieces, and working bop into his own playing. A two week engagement at LA's Hi-De-Ho Club in early 1947, initially done on a Sears tape recorder, was the start of Benedetti's recordings. In 1948, Benedetti headed to New York with fellow bandmate Jimmy Knepper, and recorded Charlie Parker on March 31, and July 7, both of these on acetate discs. While in New York, Benedetti began to use heroin. Unable to break into the New York music scene, he returned to his parents home in California in 1948. Trying to finance their way back home, Benedetti and Knepper attempt to sell drugs. However, Knepper took the drugs with him back to LA and abandoned Benedetti in New York. Shortly after returning to California, Benedetti discovered he had a rare muscle disease, Myasthenia Gravis. The disease affected his playing, and he soon quit performing in public. The disease ruined his health, and in 1953 he moved in with his parents in Italy. He died in January 20, 1957, at the age of 34. The three recording sessions he made of Parker were something of a jazz legend, until in 1988 these tapes and acetate discs are sold by his brother, Rick Benedetti, to Mosaic Records. The Complete Dean Benedetti Recordings of Charlie Parker are released by Mosaic Records in 1990.
- Dean Benedetti. Dean Benedetti war ein Tenorsaxofonist, der stark von Lester Young beeinflusst war. Nachdem er im Jahr 1945 eine Platte von Charlie Parker gehört hatte, fing er an, dessen Musik zu studieren und schließlich im Jahr 1947 ein Engagement Parkers im Hi-De-Ho Club mittels einer Bandmaschine aufzunehmen (was Ross Russell in seiner Charlie Parker-Biografie über die wire spools schreibt, entspricht nicht der Wahrheit). Benedetti kam im Jahr 1948 zusammen mit dem Posaunisten Jimmy Knepper (der später einer der Begleitmusiker von Charles Mingus werden sollte), von seiner Heimat Kalifornien nach New York. Benedetti nahm in diesem Jahr Charlie Parker insgesamt zweimal auf: Am 31. März (im „Three Deuces“) sowie am 7. , 10. und 11. Juli (im „Onyx Club“). Am Ende des Jahres 1948 kehrte Dean Benedetti nach Kalifornien zurück, wo er seine musikologischen Studien und seine Transkriptionen (nicht nur von Parker) bis zu seinem frühen Tod fortsetzte. Nachdem bei ihm eine seltene Muskelerkrankung diagnostiziert wurde, konnte er bald nicht mehr spielen. Im Jahr 1953 siedelte er nach Italien über, wo seine Eltern lebten und wo er im Jahr 1957 auch starb.
