Volume eleven in the complete Classics Benny Carter chronology presents 14
outstanding tracks recorded during the summer and autumn of 1954 and
subsequently released on producer Norman Granzs Norgran label. Recorded in Los
Angeles on June 23, 1954, tracks one through eight are strikingly beautiful
studies for alto saxophone with backing by pianist Don Abney, bassist George
Duvivier and drummer Louie Bellson. These are some of the loveliest selections
in the entire Benny Carter discography. Back in New York on September 14, 1954,
Carter waxed four more standards in the company of trombonist Bill Harris and
Granzs preferred rhythm section: Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Buddy
Rich. On Carters own Marriage Blues and Cole Porters Just One of Those Things
Dizzy Gillespie joined the group, blew his horn and stirred things up a bit.
