Kansas City Suite -- The Music Of Benny Carter

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 363711) Roulette, Early 60s -- Condition: Used

A great little set -- despite our initial fears! We'll admit that we're the first ones to shy away from anything that says "Kansas City" in the title -- as we expect a lot of hoke -- but this album's a surprisingly great batch of tunes, original numbers written by Benny Carter in honor of the KC of days past, but arranged and performed by the Basie group in a swinging style that's got the best touches of their Roulette years, plus a bit of Ellingtonish ambition in the horn charts. Titles include "Katy Do", "Miss Missouri", "Jackson County Jubilee", "Sunset Glow", "Meetin Time", and "The Wiggle Walk". (Orange label pressing. Cover has 2 small cutout punches.)  © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.
