New, Unplayed Japanese 2LP Textured Gatefold With Obi From A Long Out Of Business Importer's Stock. A Five Star Recording Featuring Five Star Jazz! “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, All Music Guide.
