Reviews

Jazz Journal - Graham Colombe

One of the greatest jazz singers. For Betty Carter's 1960 sessions in particular this is a very welcome release.

Jazzwise - Alyn Shipton

In her last years Carter was one of the most original and idiosyncratic of all jazz singers. This 1955-60 package charts at least part of her progress there. ***
