James Joseph "Buster" Bennett (March 19, 1914 – July 3, 1980) was an American blues saxophonist and blues shouter.

His nickname was "Leap Frog".

At various times in his career, he played the soprano saxophone, the alto, and the tenor.

He was known for his gutbucket style on the saxophone.

He also played the piano and the string bass professionally.

Concomitantly he played on sessions with Jimmie Gordon under the direction of Sammy Price.

1940

At the height of his popularity, in the late 1940s, he was known for his ability to draw customers into a South Side club—and for his cantankerous personality.

He also made an unannounced appearance on a Red Saunders session for Sultan Records in 1946 and on a "tenor battle" session with Tom Archia for Aristocrat Records in 1947.

1947

Bennett recorded his last session for Columbia in December 1947.
