Benny Carter's mid-'40s big band is relatively forgotten today because it only made a few studio recordings but, on evidence of the broadcasts heard on this LP, it was a rather significant transition orchestra between swing and bop. Consider that these airchecks, in addition to solos by Carter on alto and trumpet, feature concise statements from such young modernists as trombonists J.J. Johnson and Al Grey, trumpeter Miles Davis and the tenors of Dexter Gordon and Lucky Thompson. In addition, there are guest appearances by pianist Mary Lou Williams, clarinetist Barney Bigard and cornetist Rex Stewart. The recording quality is sometimes just so-so, but obviously the importance of this frequently exciting music overrides other factors. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Actuaciones de finales de los años 40 con Miles Davis, Lucky Thompson, Dexter Gordon, Barney Bigard, Rex Stewart, JJ Johnson y Mary Lou Williams. 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
La big band de Benny Carter de mediados de los años 40 está relativamente olvidada hoy en día porque sólo realizó unas pocas grabaciones de estudio pero, a juzgar por las emisiones que se escuchan en este LP, fue una orquesta de transición bastante importante entre el swing y el bop. Considere que estas emisiones, además de los solos de Carter con el contralto y la trompeta, presentan concisas intervenciones de jóvenes modernistas como los trombonistas J.J. Johnson y Al Grey, el trompetista Miles Davis y los tenores de Dexter Gordon y Lucky Thompson. Además, aparecen como invitados la pianista Mary Lou Williams, el clarinetista Barney Bigard y el cornetista Rex Stewart. La calidad de la grabación es a veces mediocre, pero obviamente la importancia de esta música, a menudo emocionante, prevalece sobre otros factores. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
