Carmen McRae, a great pianist!!

[whitekingd]

I'm listening to Carmen McRae at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival. What a great performer!! And a fine pianist. This CD has Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Carmen McRae's sets at the festival. A fine CD for all jazz lovers!!!!!!!!

I'll Remember April

I think she's only singing on this one. A really lovely tune and arrangement.

She was a friend of our neighbor and was very kind and beautiful when I was introduced to her when she was in Atlanta singing at the Regency Hyatt House. I am not sure about the name of the lounge, Hugo's maybe?
