Round Midnight – The Roulette Years
CD (Item 37686) Disky (Holland), 1970/1971 — Condition: New Copy
Excellent work from Betty Carter – much more sophisticated than some of her 60s work! The tracks on the 2CD set were recorded for the Roulette label in the early 70s – most of it live, and most of it featuring Betty in that hip trio format that she developed to fantastic heights during the decade. Betty sings standards and originals with a warmth an imagination that we can hardly describe accurately – bringing emotion into the songs that we'd hardly heard in earlier recordings, and using a trio in ways that we'd never heard before with a vocalist. Incredible stuff all the way through, very much on a par with any of Betty's later work – and featuring 27 cuts that include "Open The Door", "New Blues", "Girl Talk", "All Through The Day", "Most Gentlemen Don't Like Love", "No More Words", "Ego", and "I'm Pulling Through". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
