"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

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.
