This chronologically precise double-disc tribute to multi-instrumentalist Benny Carter is one of the very best compilations in the entire Living Era catalog. With loving attention to detail, 51 carefully chosen selections are backed up with concise discographical references to Carter's solos and accompaniments, using a sort of shorthand to specify which instruments he played on each track and even indicating the bar length of each solo. Disc one opens with Carter's most famous composition, "When Lights Are Low," recorded in London in 1936 by his Swing Octet with Elisabeth Welch singing Spencer Williams' lyrics. The next 50 tracks are arranged in exact chronological order. This allows the listener to trace Carter's professional progress step-by-step all the way to be continued...
