Betty Roché Take The "A" Train
A superb jazz vocal session from Betty Roché, best known for her powerful work with Duke Ellington. Take The "A" Train captures Roché in a small-group setting, delivering rich, expressive interpretations of Ellington standards and classic jazz repertoire.
Recorded in New York in 1956, the album features tight, sympathetic backing and places Roché's commanding yet nuanced voice front and centre. Her versions of "Take The 'A' Train," "In A Mellow Tone," and "Go Away Blues" showcase her deep connection to the Ellington songbook, while selections like "Route 66" and "September In The Rain" reveal her versatility and phrasing strength.
An essential title for collectors of classic female jazz vocals and Ellington-associated artists.
