Lilly Mae Jones, aka Betty Carter (1929-1998), is not the most famous jazz singer, but true connoisseurs worship her. Produced and arranged by Richard Wess, these twelve classics ("Stormy Weather," "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire"...) are illuminated by the pure voice and sinuous groove of the diva who wasn't one, a high priestess of scat and revered improviser. Recommended by Miles Davis to Ray Charles, she would go on to achieve success with him.
