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 Granz's 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 Granz's preferred rhythm section: Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown and Buddy Rich. On Carter's own "Marriage Blues" and Cole Porter's "Just One of Those Things" Dizzy Gillespie joined the group, blew his horn and stirred things up a bit. ~ arwulf arwulf
Some of the material heard on this CD was originally issued on an album entitled "Moonglow: Love Songs by Benny Carter and his Orchestra". But this was no syrupy music for romantic lovers as the title might suggest but pure jazz of the very highest orde

Bent Hemlock was intended to emphasize psychedelic folk more than the band's past releases, which gave more attention to improvised music. Although much of the groundwork is laid by acoustic guitars, the psychedelic elements come into play with a fairly wide range of instrumentation, including wah-wahing electric guitar, chord organ, violin, and cello. Even given that psych-folk tends to drift off more than the average rock genre, however, this batch of dark folky songs tends to meander more than it should. There's a downer vibe to much of this stuff, albeit more placid than most drone-flavored gloomy postmodern rock is, as if some of the traits of acoustic adventures like John Fahey and Bert Jansch have been absorbed into a more rock-oriented band context. Singers ...
