Benny Carter headed a talent-filled tentet for this frequently exciting concert. With trumpeters Cat Anderson and Joe Newman, trombonist Britt Woodman, Cecil Payne on baritone and Budd Johnson doubling on tenor and soprano, it is not at all surprising that the results would be memorable, but this date actually exceeds one's expectations. In addition to fine jam versions of "Squatty Roo," "Them There Eyes" and "It Don't Mean a Thing," there is a remarkable Louis Armstrong medley on which Carter (on trumpet) plays "When It's Sleepy Time Down South," Cat Anderson follows with a high note solo on "Confessin'" and then Joe Newman (who rarely recorded vocals) does a near-perfect imitation of Louis Armstrong singing on "When You're Smiling."

Benny Carter encabezó un tentet lleno de talento para este concierto a menudo emocionante. Con los trompetistas Cat Anderson y Joe Newman, el trombonista Britt Woodman, Cecil Payne en el barítono y Budd Johnson doblando en el tenor y el soprano, no es en absoluto sorprendente que los resultados fueran memorables, pero esta cita realmente supera las expectativas. Además de buenas versiones improvisadas de «Squatty Roo», «Them There Eyes» y «It Don't Mean a Thing», hay un notable popurrí de Louis Armstrong en el que Carter (a la trompeta) toca «When It's Sleepy Time Down South», Cat Anderson sigue con un solo de notas altas en «Confessin'» y luego Joe Newman (que rara vez grababa voces) hace una imitación casi perfecta de Louis Armstrong cantando en «When You're Smiling».
