Betty Carter's Queen of Improvisation
The 1974 album, Jazz Vocal Innovator.
This album fuses Carter's avant-garde vocal style with a deep understanding of traditional jazz. Her voice is as free as an instrument, and her scat singing technique is unrivaled. While inheriting the spirit of bebop, her approach to constructing her own musical language is innovative. This is a masterpiece by an important artist who greatly expanded the possibilities of jazz vocals.
