In a fine exhibition of the Basiestyle, garnished with the charm and elegance for which Carter was renowned, theband shows, once again, its sonic wealth and ensemble precision.And, to complete the picture, there are brilliant soloists like Joe Newman,Frank Foster, Thad Jones, Budd Johnson, Henry Coker and Marshall Royal (whoplays lead alto sax, and gets a sound very much like Carter’s Vine Street Rumble 3:38
