This outstanding release features the great Betty Carter at the onset of her recording career as a leader. It is fascinating to track her evolution over the course of time in which these recordings were made. Due to ongoing contractual problems Betty Carter's discography is scant at best, especially when taking into account her importance as a jazz vocalist. This outstanding release features the first, second and fourth complete studio sessions recorded under Carter's own name.
This CD comes with a very special OUTER CARD SLEEVE and great design.
