Betty Roché - Singin And Swingin

Review by teodoro parente-schaerer

Betty Roché's album Singin And Swingin is a timeless classic that showcases the singer's exceptional talent and versatility. Released in 1959, the album features Roché's soulful renditions of jazz standards such as "Stella By Starlight," "Lover Man," and "Body and Soul." Roché's smooth and sultry voice effortlessly glides over the arrangements, which are characterized by swinging rhythms, intricate melodies, and lush harmonies.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Take The 'A' Train," a Duke Ellington composition that Roché imbues with her own unique style. The track features a dynamic interplay between Roché's vocals and the instrumental sections, which include a lively piano solo. Another highlight is "My One and Only Love," a romantic ballad that showcases Roché's ability to convey deep emotion through her singing.

About Betty Roché

American jazz singer. Like Ella Fitzgerald, she began her career by winning an amateur contest at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. She sang with the Savoy Sultans in 1941-2, and with Hot Lips Page and Lester Young. She joined Ellington's band in 1943 as a replacement for Ivie Anderson, and did so just in time for the Orchestra's first major Carnegie Hall concert, where she attracted attention for her powerful delivery in Black, Brown and Beige. After leaving the Ellington band in 1944, she performed and recorded with Earl Hines, and later worked with Clark Terry and Charles Brown. She introduced more of a bop-influenced style in three solo albums, Take The A Train (Bethlehem,1956), Singin' and Swingin' (Prestige, 1960) and Lightly and Politely (Prestige, 1961). Born : January 09, 1920 in Wilmington, Delaware. Died : February 16, 1999 in Pleasantville, New Jersey.
