Betty Carter - The Modern Sound of Betty Carter - import LP on colored vinyl

Lillie Mae Jones, aka Betty Carter (1929-1998) isn't the most famous jazz singer, but true connoisseurs worship her. Produced and arranged by Richard Wess, these twelve classics are illuminated by her pure voice and winding groove. A high priestess of scat and revered improviser, she wasn't a diva - though she was recommended by Miles Davis to Ray Charles, with whom she would later find mainstream success.
