This Classics collection features cuts by saxophonist/trumpeter Benny Carter recorded while scoring charts for film and TV in Hollywood. Included are such oddball tracks as the Carter vocal tunes "Happy Go Lucky You and Broken Hearted Me" and "I Don't Want It No More." There are also some interesting orchestral tracks featuring the alto sax legend with the Oscar Peterson Trio.~ Matt Collar
