Jazz at Lincoln Center

Notes on the ProgramBy Ted Panken

“Betty Carter was unique, totally original.She was so integrated with her rhythmsection. Not every singer could get awaywith what she did.”—Karrin Allyson

“Betty was like a horn, very much intodynamics.”—Jack DeJohnette

“Betty was like Miles; she centered in onwhat was important.”—Dave Holland

“During my eight months in Betty’s trio[with Curtis Lundy and Kenny Washingtonin 1980], I had to develop as an orchestra-tor and a soloist. She put the heat on;everything was arranged and crisp.”

—Mulgrew Miller

“Betty drilled into my mind to be consis-tent every time you walk on the bandstand,to be aware that you’re playing for peoplewho want to be entertained.”

—Clarence Penn

“Betty was a good school. She wanted youto push yourself. ‘Don’t play the same stuffyou played yesterday.’”—Jacky Terrasson

“Betty was never one to back down froman argument or a fight.”—Stephen Scott

* * * *

During her half-century as a professionalsinger and nonpareil improviser, BettyCarter’s singular voice and force-of-naturepersonality made a strong impression, notleast upon the superb cohort of alumnifrom her bands who have convened forthis evening’s tribute to her legacy.

Channeling Carter’s spirit will be ChareneeWade, no stranger to Jazz at LincolnCenter audiences. She assimilated Carter’smessage of individualism when attending

the Jazz Ahead program—an ongoinggratis two-week residency for emergingjazz artist-composers that Carter estab-lished in 1993 in conjunction with The JohnF. Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.—several years after Carter died.

“I think the most valuable thing I gleanedwas the sense of being able to lean intoyour personal strengths, and expand onthem to discover more of yourself as anartist,” Wade says.

Precisely what Carter-associated repertoireWade will sing tonight is undetermined asof this writing, but it is to be hoped thatone selection will be “My Favorite Things,”a showcase for Carter’s jawdroppingly vir-tuosic vocal derring-do since she firstrecorded it with pianist Harold Mabern,bassist Bob Cranshaw, and drummer RoyMcCurdy on the self-released 1964 albumInside Betty Carter.

Wade cites her own favorite things aboutCarter. “Her playfulness,” she begins.“Her uncanny ability to bring the lyrics—the story of the song—musically to life. Herability to reimagine a song through herarranging. Her scat singing was out of thisworld. She was a very highly-trained musi-cian, to the point where young cats wouldcome to her band for schooling.”

During the last two decades of Carter’s life,“young cats” on the receiving end of herspecial brand of tough love included suchnascent high-caliber-practitioners-to-be aspianists Mulgrew Miller, Benny Green,Marc Cary, Cyrus Chestnut, Xavier Davis,Stephen Scott, and Jacky Terrasson;bassists Curtis Lundy, Eric Revis, AriRoland, Michael Bowie, and MatthewGarrison; and drummers Kenny Washing -ton, Lewis Nash, Greg Hutchinson,Clarence Penn, Winard Harper, Eric Har -land, and Alvester Garnett, the music direc-tor on this evening.

“It was fascinating to see a beautiful,strong, black woman in charge, teaching allthese young, generally male musicians,”Garnett recalled. “You understood that theband was like a boot camp. You had to bebroken, and she’d unleash her knowledgeon you to build you back up. For some itmight have seemed brutal, but I knew itwas coming from a place of love. She lovedthe music first and foremost, and she lovedthe players—she knew we’d be the onescarrying the music forward.

“Her harmonic understanding wassupreme; she could navigate the changesand find notes you didn’t expect. Thepropulsion in her singing was phenomenal,but after she’d do something with gunsblazing, she’d turn around and seduce youwith a sense of sheer sensuality and eroti-cism. She knew how to make the audiencefeel that kind of passion and love. I getgoosebumps thinking about it.”
