Jazz is an international music and Benny Carter is one of its leading statesmen. Born In a district of New York known as Hell’s Kitchen on August 8, 1907 he has proved conclusively that talent, determination and hard work can be combined to achieve the highest eminences.
In Carter’s case it has led to total instrumental control, a mastery of the arranger’s craft, the will to form and lead successful orchestras and the ability to compose music for every occasion. Although he has played trumpet, trombone, clarinet, tenor and piano it is as an alto saxophonist that Benny has achieved his enviable reputation as an instrumentalist.
He has acted as an inspiration to hundreds of younger men, all of whom have been fascinated by the seemingly effortless way in which that flawless tone is produced.
The broad, sweeping phrases of his improvisations have the structural stability of compositions in their own right and who can forget Benny’s solo on the Norman Granz produced Funky Blues when he came on after Charlie Parker and Johnny Hodges with what sounded like a two-chorus summing up of the history of jazz.

El jazz es una música internacional y Benny Carter es uno de sus principales estadistas. Nacido en un barrio de Nueva York conocido como Hell's Kitchen el 8 de agosto de 1907, ha demostrado de forma concluyente que el talento, la determinación y el trabajo duro pueden combinarse para alcanzar las más altas eminencias.
En el caso de Carter ha llevado a un control instrumental total, un dominio del oficio de arreglista, la voluntad de formar y dirigir orquestas de éxito y la capacidad de componer música para cada ocasión. Aunque ha tocado la trompeta, el trombón, el clarinete, el tenor y el piano, es como saxofonista alto como Benny ha alcanzado su envidiable reputación como instrumentista.
Ha servido de inspiración a cientos de jóvenes, que han quedado fascinados por la forma en que produce ese tono impecable, aparentemente sin esfuerzo.
Las amplias frases de sus improvisaciones tienen la estabilidad estructural de las composiciones por derecho propio y quién puede olvidar el solo de Benny en el Funky Blues producido por Norman Granz, cuando entró después de Charlie Parker y Johnny Hodges con lo que sonó como un resumen de dos coros de la historia del jazz.
