jazzbo Posted September 16, 2019 Report Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) This Betty Carter again. I have missed playing her music, and this one is very well produced and recorded. She was really something! The AMAZING Betty Carter "Look What I Got!" Verve cd http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG_400/MI0001/880/MI0001880931.jpg?partner=allrovi.com[/img] Edited September 16, 2019 by jazzbo Quote
jazzbo Posted September 16, 2019 Report Posted September 16, 2019 Just finished listening to this magic recording. The recording captures the mood of the music so well. It's very dry as far as it is close miked and little room sound and certainly no reverb added, and yet the piano's soundboard is resonant and the contrabass violin is presented as if you were very near to it (I have one, love these instruments). And Chet's vocals and microphone technique may be an acquired taste but I acquired it some time ago. And his trumpet playing seems so pure and direct here. My hat is off to the engineering, and the K2HD mastering really helps here I believe. I find it very interesting how many brass players that sing seem to have a singular "voice" on both instruments. I'm thinking of Chet, and Louis, and Jack Teagarden and Ray Nance, these four in particular. Their singing seems to mirror aspect of their playing, in very good ways. I love all four of these singers. Listening now to the Japanese Blue Note RVG lp facsimile release of Ike Quebec "Heavy Soul." A swinging album! No digital image online that I can find really captures the beautiful aquamarin-ish color of the disc sleeve I have. This one is closer than some. Quote
