| | Benny Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In the 1940s and 50s, Carter was one of the first black men to compose music for movies. | | | His biggest hit was "Cow Cow Boogie," a song he co-wrote with Don Raye and Gene DePaul, which was a hit for Ella Mae Morse in 1942. | | | Also in the 1940's, Carter's successful legal battles in order to obtain housing in then-exclusive neighborhoods in the Los Angeles area made him a pioneer in an entirely different idiom than music. |

| | While Benny Carter led his own orchestra from 1932-34, 1938-41 and then again from 1942-46 his band was not a great success commercially, probably due to the refinement of the music. | | | Benny Carter retired from both recording and performing in 1998, 70 years after his first recording date with Charlie Johnson's Orchestra and five more since the time he first got onto a band stand in one of those Harlem night spots. | | | Joining Benny Carter on alto sax was friend and long time admirer, Phil Woods. |

| | Benny Carter's career was remarkable for both its length and its consistently high musical achievement, from his first recordings in the 1920's to his youthful-sounding improvisations in the 1990's. | | | Carter was "one of the great influences in American music, one of its unsung heroes." | | | Moreover, as the drummer J. Heard suggested, "his music was a little too refined" for the 1930's and 40's, when he was leading a big band. |

| | Carter wrote for the studios for over 50 years, but he continued recording as an altoist (and all-too-rare trumpeter) during the 1940s and '50s, making a few tours with Jazz at the Philharmonic and participating on some of Norman Granz's jam-session albums. | | | In 1935, Benny Carter moved to Europe, where in London he was a staff arranger for the BBC dance orchestra (1936-1938); he also recorded in several European countries. | | | His concert and recording schedule remained active through the '90s, slowing only at the end of the millenium. |

| | When he found the trumpet hard to play, Carter opted for the saxophone, starting on the C-melody variant before moving to the alto, listening to Frankie Trumbauer on records and taking lessons from Harlem professionals. | | | Within the next decade, Carter launched his own big band, organised a special recording orchestra for the British critic Spike Hughes and moved, in 1935, to Paris to join Willie Lewis's African-American band. | | | There were solo engagements and tours, such as those with Jazz At The Philharmonic in the 1950s; a huge commitment to recording, with countless albums under his own name; and film and television soundtrack assignments. |
