Play_List

It's the strange mixture of old and new that makes the eight numbers on this LP so attractive with its themes from jazz history which provide the stage for the soloists. All of them have top-notch names and are virtually monuments - such as alto saxophonist Benny Carter, or the tenor sax Coleman Hawkins, or the drummer Jo Jones. Despite their youth, the younger guys like Phil Woods, Charlie Rouse, Dick Katz and Jimmy Garrison are not so frozen with awe that they fail to express their own personality when playing alongside these musical giants. The lightness with which Benny Carter fills his improvisations is taken up by the other musicians: all bring their own contribution to Benny Carter's ideas, weaving around the themes, not adhering to complex harmonies but altering them playfully and lending them a modern touch. In this way, the old "war-horses" from the Thirties ("Honeysuckle Rose," "Crazy Rhythm" and "Cotton Tail") are turned into modern gems, like long-forgotten jewels that have been taken out of a drawer and polished to new splendor.
