The Betty Carter installment of Verve's excellent FINEST HOUR series presents 12 songs by the revered jazz vocalist that span the late 1950s to the early '90s. While the opening track, "You're Driving Me Crazy (What Did I Do?)," shines the spotlight on Carter's amazingly deft scatting skills, her slow, sauntering rendition of "What a Little Moonlight Can Do" calls attention to the expressive, nuanced side of her dynamic voice. A concise overview of Carter's career, FINEST HOUR serves as a fine introduction to this wonderful artist.
