Second Generation Bebop
Sheila Jordan (b. 1928) and Betty Carter (1929–1998) were singers born six months apart in and around Detroit. This rarely seen photo of Jordan was taken by Blue Note Records co-founder Francis Wolff around the time of Jordan's recording for the label. Betty Carter was among the first jazz musicians to form her own record label and production company, Bet-Car, which released this eponymous recording, later retitled At the Village Vanguard. |
