Don't Get Around Much Anymore (feat. Buster Williams & Carl Allen) (Original Mix)

Arkadia Jazz All-Stars & Benny Golson & Mulgrew Miller & Buster Williams & Carl Alle

The Arkadia Jazz All-Stars is a group established in 1996 as the brainchild of Bob Karcy, Producer, musician, Founder and CEO of Arkadia Records. Karcy’s original goal was to harness the creative brilliance of the Artists on its Arkadia Records labels, along with select guest musicians representing some of Jazz’s biggest stars, to create an unparalleled series of newly recorded, thematically unified studio albums.

These Arkadia Jazz All-Stars releases have been honored with three Grammy Award Nominations.

This single, "Don't Get Around Much Anymore," featuring legendary saxophonist Benny Golson, is the featured track from the album "Thank You, Duke! (Our Tribute to Duke Ellington).

Legendary tenor saxophonist, Benny Golson, is one of the original members of the group. Benny is one of the only jazzmen whose accomplishments as a jazz composer may well have exceeded his renown as a player. He has written numerous jazz standards, including Blues Walk, Stablemates, Whisper Not, I Remember Clifford and Killer Joe, among others. He also wrote scores for many movies and TV shows, including M*A*S*H, Mission Impossible, The Partridge Family and It Takes A Thief. In 1995, Golson was given the Jazz Master Award by the National Endowment of the Arts. He has recorded numerous albums as a leader for Arkadia, and received a Grammy Award Nomination for Tenor Legacy. This single, Don’t Get Around Much Any More is from Thank You, Duke!, the highly acclaimed tribute album to Duke Ellington.

Bob Karcy’s ultimate aim is that the Arkadia Jazz All-Stars, in addition to creating new, exciting and stellar music, would emerge as an artistically successful group on its own, and would serve as a showcase for the Artists on Arkadia Records, allowing them to create awareness and recognition, and helping them expand beyond their hard core fans.

"Virtually every solo by Golson is a textbook Tour De Force." --Bob McCullogh, The Boston Globe

"Benny Golson stands out as a man whose musical skills and capacities are extraordinarily wide-ranging." --Nat Hentoff, The New York Times
