New Jersey saxophonist Bryan Beninghove is classified as a jazzman but Pineapples & Ashtrays is the kind of album people who hate jazz can love. It’s got more catchy melodies than Herb Alpert and boasts zany juxtapositions of Brazilian carnival, rock and film-noir jazz. In a willful embrace of camp, Beninghove sprinkles Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll be a Woman Soon” amidst his originals. Jazz lovers might find something to listen to in one-time John Zorn associate Eyal Maoz, a blazing electric guitarist.
