The only time I got to hear Betty Carter in person was in the same period when she did this recording. It was as wonderful as she was. Geri Allen is someone I never did get to hear in person. Two giants, the memory lingers on. Memories of You is one of my all time favorite songs. I don't think anyone ever sang it more effectively to a more effective accompaniment.
"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable. But to rally people around the idea of modernism, modernity, or something is simply silly. I mean, I don't know what kind of a cause that is, to be up to date. I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it." Jack Levine: January 3, 1915 – November 8, 2010 LEVEL BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE

Betty Carter - Geri Allen - Stardust Memories: Memories of You
The only time I got to hear Betty Carter in person was in the same period when she did this recording. It was as wonderful as she was. Geri Allen is someone I never did get to hear in person. Two giants, the memory lingers on. Memories of You is one of my all time favorite songs. I don't think anyone ever sang it more effectively to a more effective accompaniment.
