Reviewed: 2018-03-31 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: The long-running debate over what defines a jazz singer simply dissolves when Betty Carter’s name comes up. She transcended the entire category and took her place in the music pantheon as one of jazz’s most profound and game-changing innovators. In this concert, she performs in a variety of settings: piano trio, big band, & string section If You Like: Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn Track Review (favorites denoted by *): 1/ Mrs. B.C. – (spoken intro).
