A receptive audience always helped Carmen McRae feel at home. The smaller the club, the better. There s a chance for coldness in big places. Her disciplined approach, precise intonation, perceptive grasp of the lyrics, and her superb devotion to the beat, are all vitally present in these live performances. Her style was completely musical. She became a rare vocal star in the jazz scene with a strongly individual style, singing with an easy command of intervals and phrasing that sounded as if she were delicately playing a horn. And she chose her songs with care, assembling them with a keen sense of contrast and changes of tempo, so that everything combined to communicate the mood and story of the song. This is Carmen McRae performing at the height of her considerable powers. With so much beat, and so much feeling!
