TWO LPs ON 1CD!!!

THE COMPLETE CARMEN McRAE ALBUMS AFTER GLOW (Decca DL8583, tracks 1-12) AND MAD ABOUT THE MAN (Decca DL8662, tracks 13-24) BOTH INCLUDED THE WONDERFUL COLLABORATION OF THE SINGER WITH SUBTLE PIANISTS RAY BRYANT.

AS A BONUS, TWO RARE TRACKS RECORDED THE FOLLOWING YEAR ALSO FEATURING McRAE AND BRYANT.

 
This release presents two complete 1957 LPs by the wonderful Carmen McRae, both of which feature the sensitive piano accompaniment of Ray Bryant. Afterglow ( Decca DL8583, tracks 1-12) showcases the singer backed by the Ray Bryant Trio (although McRae herself sits at the piano in place of Bryant on four tracks!). In contrast, Mad About the Man (Decca DL8662, tracks 13-24) presents McRae fronting a big band including the brilliant trumpeter Charlie Shavers in addition to Bryant's rhythm section. Two rare bonus tracks recorded the following year and featuring McRae, Bryant and Shavers have been added at the end of our CD.
