Betty Carter's second Verve album solidified her credentials as one of jazz's top singers. Her trio of the period (pianist Marc Cary, bassist Tarus Mateen and drummer Gregory Hutchinson) are joined by trumpeter Freddie Hubbard (shortly before his decline) and tenor saxophonist Craig Handy on four of the seven selections while a medley of "Stardust" and "Memories of You" finds Carter accompanied by pianist Geri Allen.Other highlights include "I Love Music," "What's the Use of Wond'rin'" and "Droppin' Things." With the exception of the Geri Allen medley, this consistently stimulating music was recorded live at the Bottom Line in New York. ---Scott Yanow, Rovi

Long regarded by jazz insiders as perhaps the consummate jazz vocalist of the late 20th century, Betty Carter represented all that was right with jazz singing. Her adventurous scat style and distinctive interpretations put her on par with the other great ladies of jazz - Ella Fitgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Billie Holiday and Carmen McRae. In addition to her singing, she also helped nurture and develop many young musicians who have gone on to develop stellar jazz careers. In 1991, she was granted an award by the NEA, and in 1997 she was invited to the White House to perform and receive a Presidential honor for her work. The death of Ms. Carter from pancreatic cancer on September 26, 1998, brought to a close a remarkable career spanning nearly fifty years. --- khandipages.com
