A Gentleman and His Music


A Gentleman and His Music is an album by saxophonist/composer Benny Carter recorded in 1985 and released by the Concord label.

Reception

AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "For this 1985 session, altoist Benny Carter is teamed with the lyrical trumpeter Joe Wilder and the Concord All-Stars.... The results are predictably excellent with the septet swinging with spirit and creativity on four standards, a blues and Carter's original 'A Kiss from You.' This album is well worth tracking down".
