BENNY CARTER AND HIS ORCHESTRA – 1943-1946 | The Classics Chronological Series – 923 (1997) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Pursuing a similar path to one taken by Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter followed up a bountiful start during the early jazz and nascent big band years with an ex-pat stay in Europe. In addition to heading up the BBC Dance Orchestra, Carter recorded several big band and combo sides throughout the continent. Upon his return to the U.S. in 1938, he formed another big band in New York, eventually moved to the West Coast, and continued leading both large and small groups. This Classics disc takes up the story upon Carter's L.A. arrival in 1943 and covers the first three years of his still-ongoing residency in the south land. Standing out amongst some enjoyable vocals from Maxine Sullivan and a clutch of Carter originals, the collection's high point comes with the many tracks Carter cut with a bebop-heavy band featuring the likes of Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, Don Byas, Max Roach, Gerald Wilson, and J.J. Johnson (his recording debut), among many others. And while Davis is not actually heard here (check out Classics' 1946-1948 title), these performances are still chock full of energy and wit, with notably fine contributions coming from Gordon and Johnson. All of Carter's Classics discs are highly recommended, but this mid-'40s sampler should especially please those bebop lovers wanting to explore the world of swing. Stephen Cook
