Two aspects uplift this Marian McPartland CD above most songbooks. Benny Carter is much better-known as an altoist and an arranger than as a composer, so his compositions tend to be quite fresh since they have been underplayed through the years. Also, the fact that Carter himself performs on the majority of these selections (which also include bassist John Clayton and drummer Harold Jones) makes the set something special. Highlights include "When Lights Are Low," "I'm in the Mood for Swing," "Key Largo," "Doozy," "Lonely Woman" and "Only Trust Your Heart," but all 11 songs are enjoyable and swinging. ~ Scott Yanow
Personnel: Marian McPartland (piano), Benny Carter (alto saxophone), John Clayton (bass), Harold Jones (drums).

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Garrison Elliott's history as an artist and musician is a smorgasbord of creative twists and turns. An accomplished singer/multi-instrumentalist/recording engineer/arranger/producer, at various points in his life he has also been a puppeteer; an actor; a teacher; a model; a singer of Eastern Onion telegrams; a law student; a busker and more. His newly-released "I've Got My Fingers Crossed" is a brief glimpse into an extraordinarily interesting and complex life.The youngest of 3 children, Elliott's childhood years were not exactly middle-of-the-road, heartland American. His father, Archie, was a dedicated amateur puppeteer and 2-time president of Puppeteers of America. As early as he can remember, Garrison was a full fledged member of the family's puppet troupe, and by the age of 7 he had begun recording sound effects, music and dialog for their performances. But all was not puppets and strings during the young Elliott's formative years. His mother, a pianist, nurtured her son's interest in music, starting him on piano lessons when he was ten. She later enrolled him in the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he studied clarinet and later, saxophone and flute. By high school, Garrison's interest in performing had shifted away from puppetry, fully to music, and since it was clear that woodwinds had no place in rock and roll, he added yet another instrument, the bass guitar, playing in a succession of local and regional bands.High school completed, Garrison headed for California to become a famous musician. Though the experience left him with plenty of stories to tell, fame wasn't in the picture so the 20-year-old returned to his puppeteering roots, signing on with Scollins Marionettes of Cleveland. Behind the wheel of his own fire-engine red Scollins Marionettes circus truck he hit the road with his one-man marionette show, dropping the stage on the side of the truck and performing at major malls and fairgrounds throughout the United States and Canada. Three years later ...
