More Toast: Betty Carter introduces JD Allen 12/31/1994 | WBGO Jazz 88.3FM
I think this link will open the sound file: the song is "You're Mine"; some gorgeous jazz here....
The show begins and Betty Carter (1929-98) says, Happy New Year! Why do we have to think about all these years? A bittersweet moment to hear it now, as she did not have many more to live. But on this night, she offers to the time gods a young band of Xavier Davis on piano, Eric Revis on bass, Will Terrell III on drums, and two soloists - Peven Everett on trumpet and John D. Allen on tenor.
Listening back, I love "You're Mine" from the early set. JD's tenor solo must have made BC very happy. Listen.
This New Year's Eve on a Toast of the Nation set from Denver, JD leads his trio with guest Ron Miles on trumpet and a cameo from Henry Butler on piano. Starting at 1:15am ET.
