Album Notes & Community Reviews
Re-recorded in Los Angeles in March 1966, Benny Carter's 'Further Definitions' is a significant addition to his discography. Originally released in 1962, this album features an all-star octet echoing the instrumentation of his 1937 Paris recordings with Coleman Hawkins; the same configuration—four saxophones, piano, guitar, bass, and drums—revisits earlier collaborations and explores Carter's evolving style, blending the rhythmic vitality of swing with elements of modern jazz.
