Betty Carter medley

[@amazmace]

She knew something about jazz that nobody else knew. A brilliant genious that could move your soul. I love Betty! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!!

[@joao-geraldodamasceno1581]

she is the jazziest singer

[@MrGaffer49]

What a Musician!!

[@dominikn19]

Beautiful.

[@newsmanbluesman]

I worry about a world in which there are 700,000 people actually studying jazz, all of whom own computers, and 692,000 of whom have not watched this astounding performance. To mix metaphors: you can't wrap your head around this much nerve. Five tunes, cold from vocal? A true jazz instrumental bandleader who carries no axe to the gig? Indeed. Watch this woman's CBS JAzz Ahead feature - she drills kids into being badass back-time be-boppers! "Amazon": thrill as she defends the planet at 224 bpm

[@mikeybill]

One of the greatest ever, up there with Billy and Ella

[@claudetteholloway1126]

Michael Stevens Uh, right there...

[@rpkrauss1]

My absolute favorite jazz singer. Nobody will ever surpass her...!! Just listen to that voice, that phrasing, that total creativity . No one else compares except Ray Charles..!!

[@f.hernandez43]

I must have seen Betty a hundred times between 1979 and 1982.

[@claudetteholloway1126]

F. Hernandez I regret that I never did. What the hell was I thinking???!!!

[@paradidd]

The drummer is the great Clifford Barbaro who is still alive and plays regularly at clubs in NYC such as Smalls, Fat Cat and more. He is one of my favorite drummers/musicians.

[@DYNODRUM]

Super RARE, Super Talent ,Superb Woman / Vocalist ./Thankyou, so much Betty Baby....

[@joao-geraldodamasceno1581]

betty is true genius!

[@amazmace]

What a great singer. Thank you for sharing this. I love Betty!!!

[@MilesLikeDavis09]

Umm, and can I just this was UNREAL. She killed it and acted like it was nothing. What a total professional!

[@Louie914]

I met Betty in New Orleans in 1994. What a sweet,sassy woman.

[@PamelaTaylor]

Love songs are so missing today

[@lacynut]

All the songs in this medley had been recorded by Charlie Parker....it's a lovely tribute....

[@carlocoseca]

If i should lose you Just friends All the things you are I didn't know what time it was Star eyes

[@vova47]

It's Charlie Parker greatest hits Medley. John Hicks was the best pianist Betty ever had, a great guy as well and I miss him.... Dennis Irwin did a great job as always (miss him too) and Clifford Barbaro is a very underrated drummer. He really knows how to play for a singer, (great intensity but not high volume).

[@dariusvbryant.]

GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paulaalexandre75]

thanks for this moment... she´s unique.

[@carlocoseca]

the piano player is John Hicks , on bass Rogelito 2 weeks ago says that is Dannis Erwin, i don't know the drummer. the location i think is bologna in Italy in 1977 ciao

[@513coltrane]

looks like a very difficult place to play-yet she kills it!

[@zu0832]

[@newsmanbluesman]

Ok planet we're up a solid 25 per cent on the eight thousand views....in here check again: the as-if-she-wrote -them lyrics read - plus the follow of the core melodies..with an ultra cool over-blow where Just Friends gets corny in line...Did he gaze, Mr Louis Armstrong from the ether upon this stage, and at the mic, his absolute ultimate product, as I understand this woman, Ms Betty Carter?

[@PamelaTaylor]

That broheim is playing well

[@andrewgillis8572]

30 per cent more views. Ms Betty Carter demonstrating how to operate both hemispheres of the human brain - the only way this can be done as a heaa arrangement, off-book. Lead characters in drama don't also serve as the conductor in the pit - except for, here

[@ClaudioMonjope]

where is it? I´ld love to see the entire performance. Nice post!

[@MilesLikeDavis09]

@carlocoseca Thanks so much for posting. The more Betty the better! Any idea of the year, location, and musicians' names?

[@tommyrall3]

Senza RaiTre la televisione italiana sarebbe stata una delle peggiori al mondo. Eccezionale concerto di Betty Carter 🎺

[@newsmanbluesman]

yes cliff after gaylord birch as if betty's trios weren't always ill.. i'm noticing key changes here...unprecedented, none dared.

[@sambamaster]

@carlocoseca The bass player is Dennis Irwin. Not Erwin. Close!!!!!

[@Rickriquinho]

@deanna2150 You are right!!!

[@BlaqueRebel]

@deanna2150 LOL what?? I guess.........

[@Rickriquinho]

Let's admit it's not good...

[@ClaudioMonjope]

WHO IS GOOD? ...in your important opinion...
