Benny Carter at Midpoint

I wish I knew Benny Carter as well as many other friends of mine, but after I had sent him a copy of Mosaic's Classic Capitol Jazz Sessions (in which his entire output with the big band he led for Capitol was released for the first time) he called me and expressed his appreciation to have all this neglected recordings all in one package. Night Lights sends us a wonderful reminiscence of this brilliant improvisor and arranger, who broke all sorts of barriers throughout his 95 years.
