Swingin' the '20s was Benny Carter’s homage to the music of the 1920s, a period known for its pioneering jazz sounds. However, Carter and his quartet reinterpret these classic tunes with the harmonic sophistication and rhythmic flexibility of 1950s jazz. This makes the album not just nostalgic but also innovative, blending two jazz eras seamlessly.
