About: Carmen McRae

Carmen McRae (1920-1994) was an American jazz singer and pianist, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in vocal jazz. Her phrasing was deeply rooted in bebop, shaped by her close friendship with Billie Holiday. Albums like "Carmen McRae at Ronnie Scott's" show her mastery of intimate, behind-the-beat delivery.

About: Betty Carter

Betty Carter was an American jazz vocalist known for her adventurous improvisational style and deep command of bebop. She ran her own record label, Bet-Car Productions, and mentored a generation of jazz musicians who passed through her trio. Her 1987 album "Look What I Got!" won a Grammy Award.
