Swingin' the '20s is an album by saxophonist Benny Carter's Quartet with pianist Earl Hines, recorded in 1958 and released on the Contemporary label.[1] [2]
At Allmusic, Scott Yanow wrote, "but the results of this 1958 session are relaxed rather than explosive. Carter and Hines explore a dozen tunes with respect and light swing, but one wishes that there were a bit more competitiveness to replace some of the mutual respect". The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that "The rhythm section was one of the best money could buy at the time", but that the album was "generally pretty bland".
