Benny Carter Meets Oscar Peterson (Gate)

Benny Carter meets Oscar Peterson - two older giants from the Verve jazz scene of the 50s, recording here in loose quintet format three decades later! The album's got a format that's similar to some of the easy-flowing Verve dates from years back - no surprise, given that Norman Granz produced the set - and there's plenty of room for Carter's amazing tone on the alto to stretch out over mellow rhythms from Joe Pass on guitar, Dave Young on bass, and Martin Drew on drums. Titles include 'Sweet Lorraine,' 'Just Friends,' 'Whispering,' 'Some Kind Of Blues,' and 'Baubles Bangles & Beads.'Mastered by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original analog master tape, and pressed at Quality Record Pressings for optimal sound quality, this Analogue Productions 180-gram reissue is an exceptional audiophile disc.
