Benny Carter and His Orchestra Malibu

[Tecun85]

Classic LA Noir music

[garysaddleback]

Well, folks . . . we shouldn't forget the Putrid American Past . . . The Artist in Benny Carter saw the beauty inherent in this stretch of coastline . . . even though HE wouldn't have been allowed to own a piece of it, or even rent there!

Better listen to this great music while you can . . . before the Tea Party Loonies get power

and ban it!

In the top 25 recordings of all time! Nobody was better than Benny.

Well, folks . . . pretty, pretty melody . . . in a masterful arrangement . . . equal to any of Duke/Strays . . . but Carter never got the public recognition Duke enjoyed . . . Benny was never invited to the Nixon White House . . . oh well---have to give the old scoundrel from Yorba Linda credit for SOMETHING positive.

used to listen to this over and again. Heartbreak melancholy music. The magic of soulfull lament. Thanks for posting this

Haunting number. Would make great theme music for something set in 40's LA.
