Benny Carter and Friends: 1977

Jazz Lives loves Benny Carter and so do I. How can you not love such an important arranger, band leader and alto saxophonist who also doubled quite well on the trumpet. Here are some fine examples from the “King of Musicians.”

The Benny Carter Quartet – Swingin’ The ’20s

Swingin’ the ’20s is an album by saxophonist Benny Carter’s Quartet with pianist Earl Hines, recorded in 1958 and released on the Contemporary label.

“Combining altoist Benny Carter with pianist Earl Hines in a quartet is an idea with plenty of potential, but the results of this 1958 session are relaxed rather than explosive. Carter and Hines explore a dozen tunes (standards as well as forgotten songs like “All Alone” and “Mary Lou”) with respect and light swing, but one wishes that there were a bit more competitiveness to replace some of the mutual respect. [Originally released in 1958, Swingin’ the Twenties was digitally remastered on CD in 1988 and includes bonus tracks.]” – Scott Yanow/AllMusic.
