Об альбоме (сборнике)
A high-profile musician, arranger, & bandleader since the 1920s, Benny Carter was still in full command of his powers in the 1950s, as JAZZ GIANT attests. There are healthy doses of ’50s bop on the 7 cuts here, but anchoring it all is the classic swing for which Carter is best known. Equally impressive are Carter’s sidemen, which include saxophonist Ben Webster, guitarist Barney Kessel, & drummer Shelly Manne, among other luminaries. Top notch performances all around make this a gem that will satisfy fans of old-school jazz and ’50s bop alike.
Amazon review by book and music lover:
This has to be some of the greatest recorded Jazz ever. Pity many Jazz fans know not who he is. “Jazz Giant,” says it all. Today’s Jazz rarely comes close, & for those of us who came up listening to the music of our parents, & grand parents, this is refreshing to hear again. To possess, & enjoy this music as you like is a privilege in itself, & right up there with ice cream, & apple pie. This is the American original at it’s very best.
If you are a music student, Jazz lover, or just a plain music lover, give Mr. Benny Carter a listen. This is raw & toasty Jazz, the way it was meant to be. And you modern Jazz musicians, please listen & learn, not just to Mr. Carter, but some of the other Jazz greats of his era, & incorporate this original sound in your music.
