There are many female jazz vocalists that go unmentioned, of those is Betty Carter, who has a seminal impact of Improv Jazz, with her idiosyncratic vocal style, and lighting scat abilities. Carmen McRae once stated " There is really only one jazz singer, Betty Carter." Taken from my personal collection the original 1964 LP "Inside Better Carter" (1993 Re-Issue). All rights to Blue Note Records, Capitol Records, and EMI. Remember listen in HD.

This is an extraordinary album. Betty Carter is a phenomenal artist, whose gorgeous voice and stylings have imprinted several of the songs from this album on my soul.

Well, I did actually chat with this wonderful lady very briefly at Blues Alley in Geogetown many years ago! You see, I was sitting at the bar next to a large black gentleman who had his back to me when she stopped to talk to him. I wondered who I was next to, especially when someone who looked a lot like Oscar Peterson came up and joined in. I got to share a few words with Betty too. Later I found who I was sitting next to when he turned around a bit. It was Thelonius Monk. There are not days like that often!

I use to see her do every song on this album in person back in the 70s in Greenwich Village (NYC) at a little club called "The Needle's Eye". That's when I became aware of Betty Carter; fell in love with Betty Carter's style; phrasing and delivery! She was a little woman, kind and pleasant to everyone; use to perform in that little cap with the bib turned a little off-center--it went along very very much with her persona! She was just tops.

There's a book about Betty Carter called Open the Door. It tells her life story. It's worth taking a look at.

I had never heard of Betty Carter. Until i saw a bbc4 play about Hattie Jacques. I only heard 2 lines of This is Always, in the background and i was inlove with Betty's voice. I love the internet. i just keyed in the 2 short lines of the song, and Betty Carter's voice flooded my ears. lovely!!

@deidra cooper Nice. Your pops has got taste - and just guessing now where he knows Betty Carter's music so well I bet he's civilized funny creative aware of the wider world around him - would I be right? I know for sure he's part of an elite - but now you are too - down with Betty. PS check out Ms Carter singing on behalf of the rainforest. "Amazon" its called
