Benny Carter • A Gentleman And His Music

 

Review
by Scott Yanow
For this 1985 session, altoist Benny Carter (then a week short of turning 78 years old) is teamed with the lyrical trumpeter Joe Wilder and the Concord All-Stars, a contingent that also features tenor saxophonist Scott Hamilton, guitarist Ed Bickert and pianist Gene Harris. The results are predictably excellent with the septet swinging with spirit and creativity on four standards, a blues and Carter's original "A Kiss from You." This album is well worth tracking down.

Reseña
por Scott Yanow
En esta sesión de 1985, el contralto Benny Carter (a una semana de cumplir los 78 años) forma equipo con el lírico trompetista Joe Wilder y los Concord All-Stars, un contingente que también cuenta con el saxofonista tenor Scott Hamilton, el guitarrista Ed Bickert y el pianista Gene Harris. Los resultados son predeciblemente excelentes con el septeto balanceándose con espíritu y creatividad en cuatro estándares, un blues y el original de Carter "A Kiss from You". Merece la pena seguirle la pista a este álbum.
