Out There with Betty Carter (Verve by Request)

Originally released through Peacock Records in 1958 after her stint with the Lionel Hampton’s band, Out There is a snapshot and early gem in Betty Carter’s broad career. Supported by a quality cast including Benny Golson (Tenor Saxophone), Wynton Kelly (Piano) and Kenny Dorham (Trumpet) among others, Carter glides through standards such as “Something Wonderful” as well as her first-penned track “I Can’t Help It” which would go on to become a performance staple. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit. Tracklist A1. You're Driving Me CrazyA2. I Can't Help ItA3. By The Bend Of The RiverA4. Bab's BluesA5. Foul PlayA6.
