Benny Carter & Dizzy Gillespie

Carter, Gillespie, Inc. Benny Carter & Dizzy Gillespie Audiophile edition

Dizzy Gillespie wrote his classic “A Night In Tunisia” in 1942 while working with Benny Carter. Thirty-four years later, the two recorded the legendary piece together for “Carter, Gillespie, Inc.”. Recorded on April 27, 1976, at RCA Studios in Los Angeles, California, this album features one of the two artists' most brilliant performances. AllMusic wrote: “Although they came from different musical generations (Benny Carter was born ten years before Dizzy Gillespie), it's no wonder that the swing alto saxophonist and the bop trumpeter harmonized so well in this sextet session; they just fit together well.”
