this double 45 rpm remastered and cut by Hoffman and Gray is a bit dryer, airier on top, and more intimate; and elevates it to another level altogether; confirming once more that the duo were at the top of their game back then. Very close to perfection if it were not for a tiny lack of weight in the double-bass reducing its physical size, and in the tonal balance as a whole when compared to the typical DuNann Contemporary bass sound.- Positive Feedback
double 45 rpm remastered and cut by Hoffman and Gray is a bit dryer, airier on top, and more intimate; and elevates it to another level altogether; confirming once more that the duo were at the top of their game back then. Very close to perfection if it were not for a minute lack of weight in the double-bass on a few tracks when compared to the typical DuNann Contemporary bass sound, but that's being extra-picky.- Soundav
Though he moved to Hollywood more than four decades ago, Benny Carter transcends any geographical style; for more than a half century, he has been just what he is called in this album--a giant of every jazz era. Here he displays three of his many talents, principally as an alto saxophonist, but also as a composer on two numbers and a trumpeter on two.
The company he kept, with Ben Webster and Frank Rosolino rounding out the front line, and such fellow giants as Andre Previn, Barney Kessel, Leroy Vinnegar, and Shelly Manne in the rhythm section (Jimmy Rowles replaces Previn on two tracks) left no doubt that this album would be a milestone in straight-ahead, small group, mainstream jazz.
