Album Review: BENNY CARTER - Swingin In The 20s

Benny Carter, the legendary jazz musician, takes us on a swinging journey back to the Roaring Twenties with his latest album, "Swingin In The 20s." With over seven decades of experience in the industry, Carter effortlessly brings the sounds of the past into the present with his signature style and unmatched talent.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you are transported to a smoky, speakeasy filled with flappers and dapper gents, all dancing to the infectious rhythms and catchy melodies. Carter's impeccable skill on the saxophone shines through on every track, as he effortlessly weaves in and out of complex arrangements with ease.

But it's not just Carter's virtuoso performance that stands out on this album. The accompanying musicians are equally impressive, with each member of the ensemble bringing their own unique flair to the table. The tight-knit chemistry between the players is palpable, creating a sense of camaraderie that is infectious and impossible to resist.

Overall, "Swingin In The 20s" is a delightful romp through a bygone era, brought to life by the incomparable Benny Carter. Whether you're a die-hard jazz aficionado or just looking for some toe-tapping tunes to brighten your day, this album is guaranteed to put a smile on your face and a swing in your step. So grab your top hat and tails, and get ready to jive the night away with Benny Carter and his band of merry musicians.
