Products in the late '50s and early '60s, 'Mondo Di Notte ', 'Mondo Di Notte 2 ' and 'Mondo Di Notte 3 ', in a crescendo of impressive actors and events, were among the earliest film than in the sixties and eighties it was presented as one of the most distinctive and innovative film genres, the "movie world", indeed.

Lou Bennett began as a bop pianist, then switched to organ and became a solid player in the late '50s. With Jimmy Smith's virtuostic approach as inspiration, Bennett left piano behind in 1956, and toured the East and Midwest with his organ trio from 1957 through 1959. Bennett left America for Paris in 1960.

Bennett made only one return visit to America, appearing at the 1964 Newport Jazz Festival. He led his own group during the '80s.
