I MISPLACED THE ALBUM SOME YEARS AGO SO IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HEAR IT AGAIN. IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH MS.CARTER'S SOUND, THEN THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
January 10, 2007 |  | the masterpiece of a TRUE jazz singer |  |
Betty's voice isn't what most people think of as "beautiful". To appreciate Betty's art, you got to get "inside". Before recording "Inside Betty", Miss Carter made a remarkable tour in Japan with Sonny Rollins. In this marvellous album she performs with a trio (wonderful Harold Mabern on piano, Bob Cranshaw on bass -Rollins' soul mate-, and faithful Roy McCurdy on drums). Don't expect to hear pretty nice songs. She's gonna sing you the blues, she's gonna tell you what life is all about. She is a jazz singer's singer, a lady who did it her own way, a Lady I miss a lot. Listen to wonderful "You're a Sweetheart" (track 14) or "My Favorite Things" (in 1'35 she's said it all)... Highly recommended. 45 minutes' happiness. Train your ears.
October 6, 2005Oh why did I never hear of her before? A voice that doesn't end...it moves ecstatically from note to note shimmering delightfully and then moving us to tears. Is there a DVD concert of this genius anywhere? And what a top notch backup crew...so much talent on one CD.
April 21, 2005This was my first Betty Carter purchase, and what a great way to start... She was so versatile, and distinctive. There's a certain melancholy that occurs naturally in her voice. Can you believe I was introduced to her by way of the Cosby Show ?
She was incredible.

October 31, 2004Betty is like no other. This has been one of my favorite discs for years; of all her albums, this is the best showcase of Betty's versatility and endless imagination. We should all live with such concentrated inspiration.
