Label: Verve
Reissued 2/23/2024, Originally released 1960
This 1960 album's inventive Richard Weiss arrangements combine with Betty Carter's uniquely masterful (and modern) vocals for fresh takes on standards. Highlights include a lively run through "What A Little Moonlight Can Do," inspired scatting on "On The Alamo" and a beautifully tender take on "There's No You." Verve By Request Series features 180g vinyl pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
