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
