Production Notes:

Originally recorded on Roulette under the title 'Round Midnight (Roulette 5000).  This Roulette rerelease is identical to the original and was released in 1988.  The recording dates for Finally - Betty Carter and this album are the same (12/6/69).

 

Reviews:

  • Splendid.  Carter has a breathy, distorted voice capable of twisting and bending in a manner not unlike Sarah Vaughan's... She manages to evoke tension and emotion rather than a condescending hipness... The jazz trio backing her is in perfect complement... and is an integral part of the absolute success of the album. - Cadence
