Benny Carter - Jazz Giant - Contemporary LP

180-Gram Vinyl · All-Analog Bernie Grundman Mastering · Stoughton Tip-On Jacket

The 1958 classic Jazz Giant showcases the alto saxophone, trumpet and arrangements of triple threat Benny Carter, whose majestic talent awed four generations of jazz artists. Here Carter is joined by a formidable cast including tenor titan Ben Webster, trombonist Frank Rosolino, and a rhythm section of Andre Previn (with Jimmy Rowles on two tracks), Barney Kessel, Leroy Vinnegar and Shelly Manne — a milestone of straight-ahead, small-group mainstream jazz. Issued as part of Craft Recordings' Contemporary Records Acoustic Sounds Series.
