Benny Carter • Frenesi-The Quintet Sessions 1946-1954

 



This Blue Moon compilation makes available to the world a wonderful swatch of Benny Carter's quintet recordings, recorded under the supervision of Norman Granz in Los Angeles between April 1946 and November 1954 - The saxophonist's rendering of "The Moon Is Low" stands as a perfect (and quite possibly deliberate) sequel to Fats Waller's multiple versions of the same song recorded several years earlier - Collectively, Carter is teamed with excellent players: guitarists Allan Reuss, Barney Kessel, and Herb Ellis; bassists Artie Bernstein and Ray Brown; drummers Bobby White, Buddy Rich, and J.C - Heard; as well as pianists Oscar Peterson, Arnold Ross, and Panama-born Ellerton Oswald, known professionally as Sonny White - Even given the unusual duration and diversity of his remarkable recording career, this must rate among the essential Benny Carter compilations - His stunning virtuosity places Carter in the company of Johnny Hodges, Russell Procope, and Charlie Parker in the jazz evolution of the alto saxophone -

Este recopilatorio Blue Moon pone a disposición del mundo una maravillosa muestra de las grabaciones del quinteto de Benny Carter, grabadas bajo la supervisión de Norman Granz en Los Ángeles entre abril de 1946 y noviembre de 1954 - La interpretación del saxofonista de "The Moon Is Low" se erige como una secuela perfecta (y muy posiblemente deliberada) de las múltiples versiones de Fats Waller de la misma canción grabadas varios años antes - En conjunto, Carter cuenta con excelentes músicos: los guitarristas Allan Reuss, Barney Kessel y Herb Ellis; los bajistas Artie Bernstein y Ray Brown; los baterías Bobby White, Buddy Rich y J.C - Heard; así como los pianistas Oscar Peterson, Arnold Ross y el panameño Ellerton Oswald, conocido profesionalmente como Sonny White - Incluso teniendo en cuenta la inusual duración y diversidad de su notable carrera discográfica, ésta debe figurar entre las recopilaciones esenciales de Benny Carter - Su impresionante virtuosismo sitúa a Carter en compañía de Johnny Hodges, Russell Procope y Charlie Parker en la evolución jazzística del saxofón alto -
