The Complete Kapp Recordings on

This collection is wonderful ! Having discovered Miss McRae only recently, I am hooked !Every note, every line she owns...her voice can take one from the heights of joy to depths of sadness....unique, with no other coming close....you feel every emotion....you feel her committment to the lyrics, the melody.....to drawing her listeners in.....

Carmen is the consummate musician. Her phrasing is beyond description . She is the female Frank Sinatra. Every time I listen to her it's like taking twenty music lessons.Jack Cecchini

Quality in every sense of the word. Great vocals, charts and an overall great.performance.

With her terrific timing Carmen shine in our memories of her. Unbeatable. Excell among her piers. Sweet notes on time.

Originally owned these albums when they came out in Mono during the late 50's.....so happy to see and hear them in stereo! Met Ms McRae when she appeared at the Merry-Go-Round at the Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston about 1978. She was so lovely and such a talent.....You are in for quite a treat, but don't just read what I say, pick up a copy, today.

BOOK OF BALLADS 、 WHEN YOU’RE AWAY 、 SOMETHING TO SWING ABOUTこれにafter glowを加えたものがカーメンの全盛期の音楽。そのうちの3CDが入っている訳で、思わず目を剥いてしまった。完璧にコントロールされながらエモーショナルな音楽は理性的で、マイルスのkind of blueなどと通じるものを感じる。ともかく買っておきたいCDである。
