Carter, Gillespie, Inc.

構成数 : 1枚
合計収録時間 : 00:52:00
Personnel: Benny Carter (alto saxophone); Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet); Mickey Roker (vocals, drums); Tommy Flanagan (piano); Joe Pass (guitar); Al McKibbon (bass). Recorded at RCA Recording Studios, Los Angeles, California on April 27, 1976. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1992, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Although they were from different musical generations (Benny Carter was born ten years before Dizzy Gillespie), it is little wonder that the swing altoist and the bop trumpeter could match up so well on this sextet session; they were quite compatible. Surprisingly, the material they chose to perform could have been better (there is only one Carter composition among the six songs) but on "Broadway" and "A Night in Tunisia," the two veteran hornmen (along with pianist Tommy Flanagan and guitarist Joe Pass) sound at their best. ~ Scott Yanow
