Louis Carter (September 15, 1918 – September 25, 2005) was an American
jazz pianist, composer, and songwriter.[1][2][3] He had a long yet low-profile career.
After the trio disbanded in 1950,[9] Carter was a sideman for various bands and worked on two of
Buck Clayton's studio albums. A reunion of the Soft Winds occurred during the 1995 Floating Jazz Festival. The double album Then and Now...: The Soft Winds, 1946–1996 was released. The album included previously unreleased radio recordings from 1947 to 1948 and 11 new tracks.[10]
