Great remastering on CD of an old Betty Carter recording. Sonically, the LP I've had since the 70's has been almost unlistenable, yet musically irresistable. This reissue was remastered from the original 4-track tape, and this time, they got it right! I particularly dig Lisle Atkinson's bass playing - this largely overlooked cat has chops and soul, and IMO is the driving force here backing BC. As a bass player, he has been a strong influence on me. Highly recommended.
Absolutely wonderful voice. She was a legend for decades.

betty is at her best in this session in my humble opinion. she is one of the greatest scat singers with the exception of ella fitzgerald...............but betty deos hold her own. this set is fun to listen to. it's a great pick me up on a cloudy day.
