Out There with Betty Carter (New LP)

Betty Carter – “”Out There with Betty Carter (Verve By Request Series)”” [180gram Heavy LP] Originally released through Peacock Records in 1958 after her stint with the Lionel Hampton’s band, Out There is a snapshot and early gem in Betty Carter’s broad career. Supported by a quality cast including Benny Golson (tenor saxophone), Wynton Kelly (piano) and Kenny Dorham (trumpet) among others, Carter glides through standards such as “”Something Wonderful”” as well as her first-penned track “”I Can’t Help It,”” which would go on to become a performance staple. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit. Verve Label Group; Verve; Jazz; Catalog [180gram LP]
