Composed by Benny Carter
Alto saxophonist and arranger Benny Carter has had a full career playing club dates, recording albums ("Further Definitions"), and composing for television (M Squad). His years writing for Count Basie's orchestra gave him all the background necessary to produce this swing-inspired underscore for Serling's touching, autumnal masterpiece. Like phantoms beckoning from a distance, Carter's bittersweet melodies (crooned by a full saxophone complement) tell the audience all they need to know about protagonist Randy Lane's hunger to return to his past.
