Description
Cut in 1958 with charts by Gigi Gryce and Melba Liston, Out There with Betty Carter catches her vaulting from swing polish into bop nerve. Across small groups and brassy ensembles, she toys with time, getting so far behind the beat it feels conversational before snapping back. There’s a quick breath before a wide leap that turns the next line into a playful challenge. It’s the record where her phrasing stops being merely elegant and starts getting mischievous. This LP pressing opens up the space around the reeds and tightens the imaging so the counterlines stay clear. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Betty Carter records online with us. Bass sits a touch deeper, and cymbals decay cleanly. Shelve it beside Sarah Vaughan’s late fifties records and the lineage is obvious, but Carter is thornier, more rhythm-first. Melbourne heads will also hear the bop-to-modern continuum this captures early. A strong early chapter that still surprises at a small party or a focused Saturday tidy.
Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
