"Into the 1990sand into his 90sBenny Carter's continued activity and creativity are almost staggering. He may be the only artist to have made an acoustic recording and lived to see his own website <http://newarkwww.rutgers.edu/ijs/bc/www.bennycarter.com>www.bennycarter.com."
above from http://newarkwww.rutgers.edu/ijs/bc/millenium.htm
The acoustic recording was in 1924 or 1925 with Clara Smith, but no one has figured out exactly what it was, but this would have been disc, not cylinder, correct? Or would it - the Benny Goodman cylinder recording mentioned was 1926.
