- compilation, all tracks recorded between 1955 to 1959
This two-CD set mostly brings back material from singer Carmen McRae's
Decca years that had been bypassed by other reissues. The oversized box,
after a memorable version of "Something to Live For" (in which McRae is
accompanied by the song's composer Billy Strayhorn), has many orchestra
tracks that are weighed down by middle-of-the-road arrangements more
suitable to Doris Day than to McRae; only "Whatever Lola Wants" is
memorable among the routine ballads of 1955-56. However, things start
improving with "Skyliner" and a March 1957 set with just a rhythm
section is quite enjoyable; McRae herself contributes some effective
piano on swinging renditions of "Perdido" and "Exactly like You." The
majority of the later selections use orchestras but the charts are more
jazz-oriented and McRae (who was in her mid-to-late 30s during the
period) had clearly grown as a singer; tenor-saxophonist Ben Webster
helps out on "Bye Bye Blackbird" and "Flamingo." Overall this set is
worth picking up for fans of Carmen McRae's early years, giving one a
fine overview of her talents in the 1950s. - Scott Yanow
