james newton and geri allen is a killer combination, and this is an excellent show.  not overly long, but having longish pieces more than makes up for it (for me, anyway – i think i’ve said that before).  it’s funny, when i think of the flute, i don’t really think of jazz.  not sure why, maybe because other wind instruments are so associated with jazz?

betty-carter-1993-10-22-cologne-front-coverthis is the combination of two seeds on dime back in 2010, combined to give what i think is the full show from 1993.  details are in the info file.  about the quality of betty carter, nothing need be said, and her backup is a pretty good lineup too!  it’s all fm-sourced, so the sound is excellent.  so just goodness all around, eh?  this is about my favorite of the betty carter concerts that i’ve heard.

the cd cover pic is based on a screencapture from a video online.
