Beyond performing, Carter was one of jazz's greatest arrangers, writing charts for big bands and orchestras. He was also one of the first African American musicians to work extensively in Hollywood, composing film scores and breaking racial barriers. Carter passed away in 2003 at age 95, leaving enormous legacy as performer, composer, arranger, and civil rights pioneer.
