Legends (Benny Carter album)


Legends is an album by saxophonist/composer Benny Carter recorded in 1992 and released by the MusicMasters label.

Reception

reviewer Scott Yanow stated "The great altoist Benny Carter is in typically remarkable form at age 85 with a quartet, on five duets with pianist Hank Jones, and on three selections with the truly remarkable trumpeter Doc Cheatham.... there is not a weak track on this classic disc. This set would be recommended even if Carter were 55 rather than 85; the music is timeless and often glorious".
