There have been many attempts to describe Carmen McRae's ballad mastery, but perhaps she gave the most succinct explanation: "Experience and emotion take over when I sing. I try to convince the audience of what I am singing about. I try to entertain the people, not just myself." This release contains the three albums she recorded for the Kapp label which revealed her full maturity as a singer: "Book of Ballads," and the soulful "When You're Away" two brilliant sets, each an impeccable testimony to her pre-eminence in modern song and "Something to Swing About," a finger-snapping selection of up tempo swinging arrangements by Ernie Wilkins, featuring a group of outstanding jazz soloists, with McRae, in fine form, showing why she was considered to be one of the few original stylists of her time. She was a singer blessed with a unique sound and exquisite taste.
