Down Beat (7/96, p.47) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...Carter's works have breadth, employing everything from percolating swing to tasty Latin moods....This music is often invigorating, and inviting..." JazzTimes (9/96, p.103) - "...What makes this project so unique is that, unlike other film soundtracks of jazz interest, these performances were composed and recorded before the animation process began. In other words, the films were made to fit the music..."
An altoist of astonishing longevity, Carter is playing in his 90s better than he did when he broke in with Earl Hines in the late '20s. Also an exceptional arranger, he wrote charts in the '30s and '40s for Ellington, Basie, Henderson, and many others, not to mention his own band. During the next few decades he became involved with film scoring, and, while eschewing performance, did the occasional record date. In recent years, he has resumed a touring schedule, deploying the familiar light, graceful style that nonetheless bristles with intelligence.
