Personnel: Benny Carter (alto saxophone, trumpet); Earl Hines (piano); Leroy Vinnegar (bass); Shelly Manne (drums). Recorded at Contemporary Records Studio, Los Angeles, California on November 2, 1958. Originally released on Contemporary (7561). Includes original release liner notes by Lester Koenig. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1988, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Combining altoist Benny Carter with pianist Earl Hines in a quartet is an idea with plenty of potential, but the results of this 1958 session are relaxed rather than explosive. Carter and Hines explore a dozen tunes (standards as well as forgotten songs like "All Alone" and "Mary Lou") with respect and light swing, but one wishes that there were a bit more competitiveness to replace some of the mutual respect. [Originally released in 1958, Swingin' the Twenties was digitally remastered on CD in 1988 and includes bonus tracks.]~ Scott Yanow
