    Music:

    Carmen McRae only on 4 tracks

    By daanlpeters  Oct 5, 2006

    Pros: Great music

    Cons: Only 43 minutes

    Just to correct the "professional" review: McRae sings only on four tracks, namely Weep No More, which she does outstanding and with emotion which runs chills down your spine. There is also Briar Bush, which is a ballad, and the great fun o...f Paradiddle Joe (with Joe Morello wondering "what's a paradiddle? Good question!) is followed by a version of Strange Meadow Lark which is not half as forgettable as the other review claims. Not Brubeck's best album, but one which is very enjoyable nonetheless.

    One of the more obscure Dave Brubeck albums is really a showcase for the young singer Carmen McRae who performs nine numbers: six composed by the pianist/leader, one song apiece by altoist Paul Desmond and bassist Eugene Wright and the lesser-known standard "Paradiddle Joe." McRae is in fine voice but strangely enough all of the songs (except for "Strange Meadowlark") have been long forgotten. Stronger material would have resulted in a more memorable session.

Biography

Carmen McRae

Carmen McRae always had a nice voice (if not on the impossible level of an Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughan) but it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and ironic interpretations of lyrics that made her most memorable. She studied piano early on and had her first important job singing with Benny Carter's big band (1944) but it would be another decade before her career real... Read more
