 Swinging Benny Carter, 2008-09-15
Benny Carter has a fine reputation not only as an alto saxophonist but arranger and composer this CD provides a suitable showcase for him on all counts. In company with some of the most notable swing musicians of his generation they provide blistering music. Originally two albums, Futher Definitions and Additions to Futher Definitions recorded in 1961 and 1966 respectively they encompas both standards and newly written material. This CD was a welcome addition to my collection when I got it.

 BENNY CARTER IS THE BEST REEDSMAN AFTER ALL, 2010-01-22
This 2-CD set comes in a slim double gatefold pack, the main purpose of which seems to be to publicise the other 39 sets available in the series. But no matter, because the compilation provides an excellent account of Benny Carter's recording career, starting with Charlie Johnson's Paradise Ten in 1928, and proceeding via the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, McKinney's Cotton Pickers, The Chocolate Dandies, and Chick Webb. The early thirties found Benny leading his own groups, whose recordings are interspersed with the Mills Blue Rhythm Band, Spike Hughes and his Negro Orchestra, and Willie Bryant.
In 1936 Benny Carter came to London (a fact unremarked in the all-too-brief liner note) where he arranged for Henry Hall, and recorded with a variety of British musicians, before crossing to Paris in early 1937 where he recorded amongst others with Coleman Hawkins and Django Reinhardt.
The second CD kicks off with a 1938 Paris recording, followed by 15 recordings made in New York between 1939 and 1946 by orchestras led by Benny Carter. The remaining seven recordings were made between 1946 and 1954 with smaller groups, including Lucky Thompson & his Lucky Seven, the Oscar Peterson Trio & Buddy Rich, the Gene Krupa Trio at Carnegie Hall, and Art Tatum & Louis Bellson.
This a delightful and varied selection, superbly remastered, with only one reservation, regarding the inclusion of the first recording Benny Carter made under his own name, namely "Tell All Your Day Dreams to Me". The vocal is by an unknown girl singer, whose anonymity may be understandable since her presence detracts from the proceedings.
