As saxophonist Benny Carter approaches his ninetieth year, a web site that pays tribute to this jazz pioneer brings his career to the Web. The site includes a selected discography (all currently available on CD) and many photographs of the musician's life and career, as well as information about recent and upcoming tributes and live appearances. There are links to other Web resources about Benny Carter, and the site itself is well designed and easy to navigate. 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." This Web site makes it easy to find out why.
