Priceless Jazz 17: Carmen McRae by Carmen Mcrae - Uhune

COMPILATION

Priceless Jazz is a good midline sampler of highlights from Carmen McRae's recordings for MCA and Decca. Although this isn't a definitive collection, it offers representative material to make this a good introduction to these recordings for curious listeners on a budget. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
