Over the Rainbow (Benny Carter album)


Over the Rainbow is an album by saxophonist/composer Benny Carter recorded in 1988 and released by the MusicMasters label.

Reception

reviewer Scott Yanow stated "Benny Carter has recorded so frequently since the mid-'70s that it must be a constant challenge to come up with new settings for his alto. This particular Music Masters CD finds Carter taking his place in a saxophone section... The program is split evenly between standards and Carter compositions with the altoist also writing all of the colorful arrangements. This swinging and tasteful Benny Carter recording is a credit to his superb series of Music Masters dates".
