Often scattershot and self-indulgent, tribute albums have become a much maligned genre, but Benny Carter's Songbook is the sort of project that justifies the whole concept. Carter is not only a legendary jazz instrumentalist, but also a vastly underrated songwriter who doesn't actually sing himself. How are you going to showcase his talent except through a tribute album? By pulling together 13 different singers to tackle 15 of Carter's songs--written anytime from the 1930s to the 1990s--Songbook makes such a persuasive case for Carter that all our previous notions about the pantheon of jazz songwriters must be reevaluated. --Geoffrey Himes

    5 out of 5 stars Ideal starter for McPartland collection.......2000-02-07

    This is a superb introduction to Marian's pianistic talents. It features alto sax legend Benny Carter's compositions and the composer plays on about half the tracks, which is all the more remarkable in that Carter was 82 when this music was recorded. The highlights include the trio versions of "When Lights are Low," which Marian plays frequently at clubs, and "Key Largo." Carter joins the trio for fine versions of "I'm in the Mood for Swing" and "Easy Money." An ideal introduction to McPartland's piano style and Carter's tunes.

      5 out of 5 stars The sweetest sound this side of heaven.......1998-11-02

      On a scale of 1 to 10 this album rates a 15. Elegant compositions of the legendary Carter performed by an all star cast of legends along with a few new voices who prove themselves equally impressive. If you are not familiar with the works of Benny Carter, composer, you owe it to yourself to buy this CD.
