In 2008,
Storyville
released
Benny Carter in Copenhagen
, a straight-up reissue of
Summer Serenade
, an album that was recorded in the capital of Denmark on August 17, 1980, a few days after
Carter
's 77th birthday. The music taped at that session is an excellent example of
's mature artistry. Backed by pianist
Kenny Drew
, bassist
Jesper Lundgaard
, and drummer
Ed Thigpen
(the vocalist on
"All That Jazz"
is one
Richard Boone
),
uses his saxophone to reinvent several jazz standards, reinterpret several of his own compositions, and reaffirm his place as one of the original architects and longtime sustainers of the jazz tradition. If you missed the original release and the 1994 reissue eluded detection, you might want to pounce on this while it's still readily available. ~ arwulf arwulf
