Betty Carter The Modern Sound of Betty Carter

Description

This 1960 album’s inventive Richard Weiss arrangements combine with Carter’s uniquely masterful – and modern – vocals for fresh takes on standards. Highlights include a lively run through ‘What A Little Moonlight Can Do’, inspired scatting on ‘On The Alamo’ and a beautifully tender take on ‘There’s No You’.

This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
