The Ellington orchestra typically travelled on a tour bus, but Ellington himself did not; he was driven separately by Carney, a "quiet, calm presence". Ellington wrote many showpiece features for Carney throughout their time together. In 1973 Ellington built the Third Sacred Concert around Carney's baritone saxophone. After Ellington's 1974 death, Carney said: "Without Duke I have nothing to live for". Carney's final recording may have been under Mercer Ellington's leadership, for the album "Continuum". Four months after Ellington's death, Carney also died, on October 8, 1974, in New York. Carney was an early jazz proponent of circular breathing. He was also Hamiet Bluiett's favorite baritone player because he "never saw anybody else stop time" in reference to a concert Bluiett attended where Carney held a note during which all else went silent. Two months after Carney's death, bassist Charles Mingus recorded Sy Johnson's elegy "For Harry Carney"; the track was released on the album "Changes Two".
