Ira Nepus on trombone and Steve Moore on guitar accompanied by (amongst others) Jeff Hamilton and the Clayton brothers. Ira was a close friend of Benny and this mellow but swinging cd is a fitting tribute. 13 songs by Carter many of which are not that well known-- though it does contain favorites like When Lights are Low and I'm in the Mood for Swing. It's on Jazzed Media and I don't know how easy it is to find but there's a JazzedMedia.com website from which it can be ordered. (I see there's a few Phil Woods cds available there too as well as a Bill Holman Big Band.)

That Bill Holman looks good.

They also have a Bud Shank big band CD that Shank was very proud of when I interviewed him last summer, his first as the leader of a big band. I haven't heard it, though.

Shank was amazing when he played in Boston last summer. Unbelievable force, fire, fluidity, and invention for a man of any age, let alone an octagenarian!
