I actually lived only three houses away from when I was about 13 or 14 years old We used to sit on the front porch just to listen to her when she’d be practicing in her apartment. Didn’t realize then that we were witnessing greatness .

[@quinnmurph2750]

Wow! Searching for the envy emoji ! Those must be fantastic memories!

[@tovenrvik6336]

Her as a neigbor must be a dream, she's fantastic ‼️🎯

[@davidholiday4494]

how lucky you were!!!!

[@GarthAstrology]

This kind of "improvisation in extempore" concert was always my favorite type of Betty Carter performance, and you usually only saw it in clubs. The way she would meld songs of contrasting tempo together, her endless invention and extension of musical forms, her experimentation with deconstructing melody and singing lyrics in her own time - she would create this highly elastic musical universe that bent time but was filled with adrenaline, excitement and risk. Thank you, Betty Carter.

Long Live The Sounds of The Dutchess of Jazz, Miss Betty Carter! And Look What She Got...Her Musical Disciples are now in their 50's respectfully & Movin' On#JazzAhead'21

[@teddypantelas]

It's nice to keep coming back and checking this concert out! Some very deep singing by Betty Carter. Killing Trio! 100 stars!

[@tovenrvik6336]

Everything I Have Is Yours, is in the video, the song is beautiful and it's one of my favourite songs of her‼️💎JazzyT.

[@rodneygolden2796]

Still remember the loving kiss and warm embrace she gave me backstage upon signing my program from a performance this same group gave at Norfolk State University around this ame period. James Baldwin was on the same bill as a part of a symposium. Mr. Baldwin, and the other members of the group signed too and made me feel like family. I'm not sure if this was at the same date or successive days or weeks. GENUINE AND SPIRITUAL moments in my life. This totally refreshes my 'life condition' at the time. Haven't felt like I touched the fountain of eternal youth in years. This recaptures some of my times.. Many Loving Thanks for this! A truly 'Love Supreme' moment among others that happen to one in living Life. Those autographs were priceless, and perfect to me.

[@albertbrown359]

Betty always full of amazing innovative riffs .She knew how to lead the band with voice and gestures.

[@tovenrvik6336]

Sounds Movin On, is there, too, what a joy, Betty Carter‼️🎯💎JazzyT.

[@5argetech56]

"Look what I got"... The way she sang that song on the Cosby Show.. Brings tears to my eyes every time...

[@andrewgillis8572]

In a battle of Betty drummers or piano players, OMG - she scouted a half dozen of each who are all now educators & stars themselves

[@mingchan6300]

As a big fan of Betty Carter (who is the most innovative and uncompromising jazz singer ever) I thought I have visited most of her videos but not this one! Thanks!

[@tovenrvik6336]

Fantastic opening, I ❤️Scatting‼️It reminds me of my double Cd of her‼️💎🎯JazzyT.

[@pappymartinlegacyjazzcolle4534]

It gets no better than this!!! Black Classical music at its best!

[@thoughtsforthebuilders]

33:14. This whole section. Damn! For a duo, they're _cooking!_ even dropped the mic and just kept grooving on it!!

[@gustavoyunes6101]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS! I saw Betty Carter with this same group in Argentina in 1987, I was young and I was amazed

[@CRtrain]

There is only one Betty Carter. And then there's the incomparable comping/accenting of Benny Green. Those chords on Just Like The Movies. Goosebumps.

[@kayisebangani3950]

She was truly amazing

[@shinp0pp0]

once I see Betty Carter's live video, I simply roll in and sing dee-doo-dah along...

"Just Like the Movies" is my favorite Betty Carter-composed song. I'm not sure who else could sing it but her.

[@giuseppebaudo8098]

Thanks

[@davidholiday4494]

Hi Brian: I have also seen Betty Carter a number of times and got to meet and speak with her once when I pushed open the door to the artists' dressing room!!! I was a bit brazen in my younger days. She was incredibly gracious and kind. I first came across her in 1975 and have followed her ever since. I miss her creativity. I saw her mainly at Ronnie Scotts club in London - if you don't know it - it is a wonderfully small place where the artists are only feet away - if you ask for a front table. I can never forget her.

[@quinnmurph2750]

I had a similar experience seeing Betty Carter at Blues Alley in Washington in the 90s, another small, tight venue. When she would push the band to really swing, the kinetic energy would be so strong in the room that it made everyone sweat! Unforgettable and unmatched.

[@santiagorodriguez1904]

Betty had the power to take you to La-La land!!

[@maitefaangaza2409]

My favorite jazz singer!

[@BFichthorn]

Thank you so much for this! I have seen Betty Carter perform dozens of times. She has never been equaled.

[@teddypantelas]

I agree with you totally! She was the best and so much like Miles in what she brought to the table that no one else was.So many who've become "the greats" have played with her first and there's no mystery there. She showed them the way!

[@maitefaangaza2409]

Same here and so glad I went to see her each time! My fave jazz singer. :)

[@bobbyburches8026]

Thank you so much for posting this video. I've loved all things Betty Carter my entire life. She truly was a genius. I celebrate her memory and contribution.

[@shadaviongrant7605]

45:07 Oh it's officially on!!!

[@septemberjanuary4636]

Benny went off in Sounds Movin...yess!

[@vKarl71]

Betty Carter was one of the greats & I feel so very fortunate to have seen her do her magic several times. Her timing was astounding. She was a one-woman music school for the most promising young musicians who went on to be important jazz stars. She left nothing to chance. She held very intense rehearsals, in which she was extremely exacting & could be quite severe with the musicians if they didn't do exactly what she wanted. I saw her do two shows on one day in NY at Lincoln Center & the two shows were EXACTLY the same, down to her gestures & patter.

[@teddypantelas]

What an incredible concert! There's No One Like Betty Carter! Her voice, her phrasing, the way she uses space. A true Master in every way. So nice to see a whole concert with Benny Green at 23! This group was on Fire! Thank you for posting this!

[@jeanettesteed3326]

Ella also was great

[@joao-geraldodamasceno1581]

[@kenoki9549]

何とすごいライブ映像でしょう🎵ベディ・カーターワン&オンリーの世界。バックのベニー・グリーントリオのサポートも絶妙です。ナンバーワンジャズシンガーの世界は永遠です。

[@AMindWithNoCeiling]

Pure, unmitigated genius.

[@rillloudmother]

Betty and Benny Green are like Ella and Joe Pass.

[@tovenrvik6336]

Sarah Vaughn has Autumn Leaves wt Joe Pass on guitar, where she Scat's the whole song, on Crazy And Mixed Up, one of my first Jazz Lp's I bought as a 19 years old ‼️

[@brandypettiway2662]

Thanks for posting this aretrogoose. It's good to know how many concert films this woman has done. Could you find the full concert film where she performed in Lisbon, Portugal in the year 1982. If you search "I remember you" by Betty Carter on KZbin that is a small clip of the live concert film.
