Betty Carter - The Modern Sound Of Betty Carter (Verve By Request) (LP)

This 1960 album's inventive Richard Weiss arrangements combine with 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'. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
