lovely ....Benny played unbelievably for seventy odd years, amazing! .... yep .... he was of the kings ...... nice band here too .... thanks for all the good info, too, erwigfilms
Red Norvo also appeared in the original Rat Pack "Oceans Eleven" in a casino band with Al Cohn, backing Dean Martin singing "Ain't That a Kick in the Head?"
There are two ways to play "When Lights Are Low": the first one is the one heared on this video. The other uses a completely different bridge (B section), based on the same melody of the A section but in another key. This was created by Miles Davis in the fifties and was used by several Jazz greats such as Eric Dolphy and Oscar Peterson.Jaki Byard, in his "Parisian Solos" LP, used the original bridge as created by Benny Carter. All versions are worth hearing!
Thank you for this post. Do you by any chance have more songs from this concert? I remember watching it once on TV and in one of the other tunes there is a very nice solo by Red Norvo.
For all around, across the board achievement, nobody, nobody beat Benny Carter--instrumentalist, composer, arranger, he did it all
Wonderful. Thank you!!!😊

But this is the way the composer intended. Miles seems to have loved to make complex tunes simpler as per Monk’s ‘Well, You Needn’t.’
Great! Thanks for posting.
exxellent sax
