On this popular two-LP set, singer Carmen McRae interprets songs by Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Michel Legrand, Warren & Dubin, Henry Mancini, and Jimmy Van Heusen, among others, but it is her rendition of a humorous Jimmy Rowles novelty ("The Ballad of Thelonious Monk") that is best remembered. Joined by pianist Rowles, guitarist Joe Pass, bassist Chuck Domanico, and drummer Chuck Flores, McRae had what was at the time a rare opportunity to record a live, spontaneous, jazz-oriented set. She sounds quite enthusiastic about both her accompaniment and the strong repertoire, which includes "At Long Last Love," "I Only Have Eyes for You," "Sunday," "I Cried for You," and "I Thought About You." ~ Scott Yanow

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars The ultimate Carmen!
I'm a huge fan of Ms.McRae. This is what a real jazz singer should sound like. The musicians are amazing, lead by a phenomenal Joe Pass. This album really captures the atmosphere and the sheer artistry of Ms. McRae and the band. Definitely one of my all time favourites!
