 Lena Is Just Pure Excellence!, 2001-02-10
This is an absolute gem of a CD. As it is hard to find CDs of Lena's movie recordings, this is an absolute find and is very much a must have item. This CD includes all of Lena's MGM recordings, and highlights include 'The Lady Is A Tramp', 'Can't Help, Loving Dat' Man' and the quirky 'You Got Looks'. All of these songs are classics and with Lena singing them makes it a great CD to have. Overall, a must have CD which you will find yourself singing along to, more often then you'd probably admit to!
List Price: £23.99

This is a considerably expanded version of the soundtrack album to Vincente Minnelli's Oscar-winning film. With two discs and 100 minutes of music (much of which is presented for the first time), these original session masters are highlighted by the MGM Studio Orchestra, Oscar Levant, Benny Carter, and Gene Kelly, all of whom perform such memorable Gershwin tunes as "Someone to Watch Over Me", "Love Is Here to Stay", and "S'Wonderful". Just about all of the material has a monotonously mono sound, but Levant's version of "Concerto in F" is included here for the first time in true stereo. Along with several Levant improvisational piano solos based on Gershwin's music, there are also some outtakes as well as extensive production and historical notes. --Joseph Lanza

 Good Music,Terribly Compiled!, 2008-11-29
This set of two cd's has very good tracks,However,the set is ruined because of the poorly compiled track listings and cases!Most of the tracks are mixed up,some are not even on the discs!e.g.Cd 1 on the first set ordered was actually cd2,the second set,well,what a mess,upon the list on cd 1 is "Ive got two lips",which is actually the next track "Ponciana"This occurs through the entire two cd's,"I can't Believe you are in love with me" is not on either cd.To add The written text is completely incorrect and only relates to 32 tracks when there are 51 on the set.Overall,good music,Horrendously compiled!

Benny Carter
Composer, Arranger, and Multi-Instrumentalist, 2007-08-05
Benny Carter was born in 1907 and died in 2003, after an active career in jazz that spanned eight decades. That has provided a wealth of material to draw on for this 4-CD set, which spans his earlier years, from 1930 to 1952. As a reference guide to his career progression, from the Chocolate Dandies, Spike Hughes Negro Orchestra, the London and Continental sessions, thence back to pre and postwar America, it is hard to see how this compilation could be bettered.
Throughout, Benny Carter's sophisticated and elegant approach is on display, which marked him out early on as one of the supreme stylists, particularly on the alto saxophone, although his talents encompassed also trumpet, clarinet, trombone, tenor sax, and piano. The set is rounded out in Proper Box fashion with a 52-page illustrated booklet by the indefatigable Joop Visser.
