Elegy in Blue

On Elegy in Blue, Benny Carter pays tribute to nine of his peers by performing a composition by each. The title track is Carter’s own affecting dedication to these artists, most of whom were his contemporaries and several of whom were dear friends as well. Joining Carter in this all-star sextet are two of his oldest musical associates: Harry "Sweets" Edison and Ray Brown.
