Betty Carter's remarkable early-'70s LPs were initially available only on her own poorly distributed label.
This live date captured Carter when her voice was its most pliable, her delivery in full bloom and her range and power at their peak.
She could scat with a fury and rhythmic intensity that were almost magical, then turn a slow tune like "The Sun Died" or "Body and Soul" into a showcase by emphasizing key lyrics, subtly changing each stanza, or increasing the pace at an unexpected moment.
This deserves full attention, as it represents Betty Carter still evolving and perfecting her matchless technique.
