Norman Granz is one of the most important non-musicians in the history of Jazz and no one has made a greater contribution to the staging, recording and filming of Jazz concerts. This series of performances from the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival now makes a part of this legacy available on DVD for the first time.
Benny Carter was a giant in the world of Jazz from the late Twenties until his death in 2003. As a sublime saxophone player he contributed to scores of recordings but was also a highly accomplished arranger, composer and bandleader. This 1977 performance has him accompanied by Ray Bryant, Jimmie Smith and Niels Pedersen on classic tracks such as Body and Soul and Here´s That Rainy Day.
