Betty Roché should have been much more famous. She had two barely
documented periods with Duke Ellington's orchestra and recorded three
excellent albums as a leader from 1956-1961 (all of which are available
on CD), but then faded away into complete obscurity. This reissue (which
is mistakenly given the incorrect date of January 24, 1961, which was
actually Roché's following release) matches the singer with tenor
saxophonist Jimmy Forrest, organist Jack McDuff (near the beginning of
his career), guitarist Bill Jennings, bassist Wendell Marshall, and
drummer Roy Haynes. Roché performs nine famous standards, coming up with
fresh variations in her phrasing to such numbers as "Come Rain or Come
Shine," "When I Fall in Love," "Blue Moon," and "Billie's Bounce."
Recommended, as are all of the other recordings in her slim
discography. by Scott Yanow
