Benny Carter Lives! One Of The Largest Legends In Jazz Passes On

Benny Carter, 95, Jazz Musician and Arranger, Dies. Benny Carter's combination of highly developed talents as composer, arranger, bandleader and soloist was unmatched in the jazz world. By John S. Wilson. [New York Times: Arts]

Wow. He continued to be a Jazz creatin' stud til his dyin day. That's why it's so amazing he is gone...he never seemed like he would ever be gone. No matter how many Benny birthday's came and went, there was always something new with Benny playing and leading and inspiring again.

Bennie Lives!

We'll most definitely put something together for this Thursday's Live show.
