The Precious And Rare series presents beautifully remastered recordings by some of the very finest jazz artists. Betty Carter brought a new vocal style to jazz, rich in improvisation, passionate scat singing and fighting spirit. She sang with jazz legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Charles Mingus, Wes Montgomery and Ray Charles and created her own jazz label, achieving prominence in the music business. Songs include 'The Way You Look Tonight', 'Let's Fall In Love', 'Something Wonderful', 'Stormy Weather', 'Baby It's Cold Outside', and many more. 'The finest jazz singer heard in Australia in the past 20 years remains Betty Carter on her two tours in the 1990s. Anyone who witnessed her performances then will never forget the spell she cast as she swept audiences into a theatrical as well as musical world of her own...This comprehensive collection of recordings - from the initial dates with Lionel Hampton through to 12 songs with [Ray] Charles reveals an artist with flawless musical instincts from the outset.' ~ Sydney Morning Herald https://www.musicdirect.net.au/audio/the-complete-betty-carter-1948-1961.do
The problem with all the female jazz vocalists of that era : They were too conservative, with the almost dead big band sound and the the sin of a thousand strings. That's the case for Betty Carter, but that lady was a superior vocalist, sometimes amazing. This is four of her albums of that time, includiing the ones with Ray Charles & Ray Bryant, + some vintage stuff with the Lionel Hampton orchestra. Pretty good moments here and a lot of music. Merci.
