One of the most innovative jazz singers of the past half century, Betty Carter (1929-98) took constant chances in her performances and, while based in bebop, always pushed ahead.

Here is her appearance on the Tonight Show when it was hosted by Jay Leno.

She scats her way through her original “Tight” which also features Branford Marsalis
