Full performer name: Benny Carter With Ben Webster & Barney Bigard. Personnel: Benny Carter (alto saxophone); Ben Webster (tenor saxophone); Barney Bigard (clarinet); Shorty Sherock (trumpet); Jimmy Rowles (piano); Dave Barbour (guitar); Leroy Vinnegar (bass); Mel Lewis (drums). Recorded at the Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on April 10, 1962. Includes liner notes by Leonard Feather. Digitally remastered by Gary Hobish (1992, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). One of Benny Carter's last jazz recordings before he became totally immersed in writing for the studios, this set matches his alto and trumpet with tenor great Ben Webster, clarinetist Barney Bigard and trumpeter Shorty Sherock on a pair of lengthy blues and Carter's "Lula" and "When Lights Are Low." All of the swing all-stars are in fine form, making one wish that they were not being so neglected by critics and fans alike during this era; Webster soon left the U.S. permanently for Europe. Although not essential, this set is fun. ~ Scott Yanow
