...Urbane Jazz of Roy Eldridge & Benny Carter (American Recording Society). A witty dialogue between Eldridge's jabbing trumpet and Carter's clean, relaxed alto sax. Worth the price of the record alone: a wailing, heavily percus-sioned version of Eldridge's Polite Blues...
...know, one of these days, ole Marvin Griffin is going to learn his lesson and get some sense.
