Cookin' at Carlos I

Cookin' at Carlos I is a live album by saxophonist/composer Benny Carter recorded in 1989 and released by the MusicMasters label.

Reception
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "During the late '80s up to the present, Benny Carter (now an octogenarian) has recorded a string of consistently excellent and frequently superb CDs for Music Masters. This particular effort is a rare live recording for Carter with his regular group ... The repertoire is typical of his club performances ... A special treat is Carter's trumpet solo on "Time for the Blues"; otherwise his wonderful alto dominates this fine set".
