- Benny Carter is one of the true jazz pioneers, having recorded starting from the 20s up until the 2000s, through 8 different decades! What a class act with his gentle and lyrical approach on the alto sax here. Here he played the jazz standard "I Can't Get Started", recorded by the BBC in 1966 in London.

What a pure class act, mr. Benny Carter. And that laid back flow... moves rhythmically like the water in a rocky river. Just today - after having heard this long ago for the first time - , I'm feeling a strong connection between Benny Carter and Cannonball, especially in terms of sound and phrasing at times. Do you hear that as well? What do you like about his playing most? Very interested to hear that in the comments below.

wow thats totally true, I can hear Cannon in Carter.
Sonny Stitt as well. Everyone wrongfully called Stitt a Bird clone, but he didn't articulate like Charlie Parker--Stitt articulated more like Benny Carter. All came from the same place, bebop wasn't invented in a vacuum or Google backroom. They all knew that swing was the thing, and that rhythm ruled the world. Now-a-days, we're too caught up in more distracting matters--such as exotic scales with weird names--instead of the root of jazz... rhythm, pulse, and that BIG beat.
3:03 All Hail To The #11
Mmm... Benny. His lines were so smooth and intelligent while remaining accessible to a common audience.
Nice sharp eleven to end a solo for the Sharp Eleven channel.
Mr. Class from his start until he was 90-something. Of his later work I really like the album with Marian McPartland doing all Carter tunes. And don't forget what a great arranger he was.
As lovely as this is, it's the stuff he played in early thirties with fletcher Henderson, mills blue rhythm, and Mckinneys cotton pickers that is truly hotter than hades
that lick at 0:40 is sooo smooth holy shit
Great post. Thanks
Amazing.
Grew up listening to Benny in the 60's.. his "Further Definitions" LP is a total gas,, Phil Woods is on it as well.
Nice, I'm not familiar with that recording, thanks for pointing it out!
Yep, good call--Woods, Carter, Coleman Hawkins, Charlie Rouse not a bad sax section! And Hawkins came to play that day and show the young'uns how to do it. The second half of the CD reissue is also a good session, Benny's West Coast big band and lots of Carter originals.
Wow
This recording just made clear to me now much the younger Cannonball Adderley was influenced by Benny Carter. Was not aware.
Yes indeed. I realized this rather late, after finishing this transcription and listening to it back as a whole, the similarities just hit me. And it's hard to unhear now, I hear a Cannoball like on the Bossa album in here, without the double time runs
@@SharpElevenMusic I was rather thinking of the mid 50s recordings on Emarcy. His tone developed significantly when he started to play with Miles and Trane.
holy shit dat sharp 11 tho
n1.
