Benny Carter: Biography 
 
 For over six decades, Benny Carter has occupied a unique place in 
American music. As Duke Ellington once wrote: “The problem of 
expressing the contributions that Benny Carter has made to popular music 
is so tremendous it completely fazes me, so extraordinary a musician is 
he.” Miles Davis once said: “Everyone should listen to Benny Carter. He’s 
a whole musical education.” 
 As a soloist, Carter, along with Johnny Hodges, was the model for 
swing era alto saxophonists. He is nearly unique in his ability to double on 
trumpet, which he played in an equally distinctive style. In addition, he 
was an accomplished clarinetist, and has recorded proficiently on piano 
and trombone.  
 As an arranger, he helped chart the course of big band jazz, and his 
compositions, such as “When Lights Are Low” and “Blues In My Heart,” 
have become jazz standards. Carter has also made major musical 
contributions to the world of film and television. 
 On the West Coast the versatile Carter moved increasingly into studio 
work. Beginning with “Stormy Weather” in 1943, he arranged for dozens 
of feature films and television productions. His credits encompass all 
musical idioms, from feature films such as “A Man Called Adam” and 
“Buck and the Preacher” to television shows, including “M Squad” and 
“Chrysler Theater.” He provided arrangements for almost every major 
popular singer including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, 
Lou Rawls, Ray Charles, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, Pearl Bailey, Billy 
Eckstine and Mel Tormé. 
 In March of 1996 Carter’s multifaceted musical gifts were on display in 
a major event at Lincoln Center in New York. Carter appeared with the 
Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra conducted by Wynton Marsalis in an 
evening of Carter’s music. His musicianship and personality have won 
him the respect of fellow artists and audiences on every continent. 
 Carter was born in New York in 1907 and died in Los Angeles on July 
12, 2003.
