Bessie Smith Volume 5 (Frog)

[duaneiac]

Some new used CDs I bought today:

A 1976 album on which Carmen McRae covers (unconvincingly) pop songs of the era by Earth, Wind & Fire, James Taylor, Bill Withers and Eric Carmen..  The best track is "A Child Is Born", which was arrnged by its composer, Thad Jones.

To be fair, I will have to give it another listen since I dozed off halfway through.  That's not a reflection on the quality of the music -- I liked what I heard, but was just really tired.

(IMO) a supeb effort and - benath the two releases with Tone Jansa on Timelss mentioned here earlier today - "must have" Woody Shaw ....
