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

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". The Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
