Personnel: Betty Carter (vocals); John Hicks (piano); Kenny Washington (drums). Audio Mixer: Joe Ferla. Recording information: Bradshaw's Great American Music Hall, LA, CA. Photographers: Barbara Bordnick; Tom Copi. For Betty Carter, songs are vehicles for her talent. If something doesn't fit her conception of how her performance should be, then she changes it. Nothing is sacred; and yet, somehow, nothing is profaned. Standards from the Great American Songbook are reworked with seemingly dismissive ease. The album title is significant: woe betide any audience that risks not being "with" Betty Carter. In command, on display, this tough, restless tigress of jazz overshadows her contemporaries, What's more, her statement that she can see no-one coming along to challenge her supremacy looks increasingly true as the years pass by.
