Synopsis

Album Description
Benny Carter and Johnny Hodges were two-thirds of a triumvirate of alto royalty (which also included Charlie Parker) - giants of the swing era. Like virtually every jazz musician his age, Herb Geller formed himself in Parker's shadow. But, before Parker, Carter and Hodges were essential examples in Geller's life. For this tribute, Geller chose songs that are not often played, teaming with a group of stellar jazz musicians to bring the compositions to life.
