Notes
This CD features 3 sessions for RCA that should have been included on Classics 1297 because both dates precede Carter's first studio outing for Norman Granz mid-September 1952. For these RCA dates, Carter had written charts with strings in a manner that further popularized him among the producers at Hollywood's movie and TV Studios. In early Oct., Benny Carter led a star studded orchestra including many musicians who had previously worked with his regular big band. Strangely enough, this date was made after he had signed with Verve records! 2 months later, Norman Granz used his star Oscar Peterson to back Benny Carter on four tremendous tracks. More than a year later, the alto saxophonist recorded once again with strings.
