Originally released through Peacock Records in 1958 after her stint with Lionel Hampton’s band, ‘Out There’ is a snapshot and early gem in Betty Carter’s broad career. Supported by a quality cast including Benny Golson (tenor saxophone), Wynton Kelly (piano) and Kenny Dorham (trumpet) among others, Carter glides through standards such as ‘Something Wonderful’ as well as her first-penned track ‘I Can’t Help It’, which would go on to become a performance staple. This Verve By Request title is pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Third Man in Detroit.
