I had the privilege of seeing and talking to Benny many times when he came to New York. He was my main inspiration to play the sax. My youtube name comes from his greatest recording. He was a true gentleman and a master musician.
Pianist Brian Dee is quite an interpolator, and shows a wonderful relaxed approach. Among many other quotes, like the intro taken from "Singing In the Rain", his solo ends with the last phrase "...some guy who digs my Shiny Stockings too..."

In a Mellow Tone is a great standard and a good Dance Tune. Slow Jitterbug. Benny Carter is one of the Jazz Immortals.
