'Round Midnight (1963 Betty Carter album)

'Round Midnight is a 1963 studio album by the American jazz singer Betty Carter that was arranged by Claus Ogerman and Oliver Nelson.

[1] Scott Yanow, writing on Allmusic.com gave 'Round Midnight two and a half stars out of five.

Yanow commented of Carter in this period: "Her chance-taking style and unusual voice were mostly ignored and it would not be until the late '70s that she was finally 'discovered.'

...Her style was a lot freer than it had been in her earlier records but was still more accessible than it would be.

The rating was given for "new albums with sufficient commercial potential.
