Further Definitions (1961) is a jazz album by Benny Carter and his orchestra, rereleased on CD in 1997 coupled with his follow-up album, the 1966 Additions to Further Definitions. The earlier album is Carter's best-known, recorded with an all-star line-up that included Coleman Hawkins, with whom Carter had recorded in Paris before World War II using the same configuration of instruments: four saxophones, piano, guitar, bass, and drums.
