Carmen MacRae in her heyday was as good as any singer I've ever heard. I saw her live and upclose back in the 70's. She was also a very good pianist as well as singer. She was the complete musician.

i love dianne! but what the hell with her dress!!!! it looks like a costum!

Today would have been Carmen McRae's 90th birthday. So glad she came this way. Her Birthday is April 8th 1920

Great chart !
-
does anyone know if they played any of her music? or showed clips of her at that NAACP show?
-
Della should sang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet! I got to see Dianne recently- she really kicks.
Your comment made me laugh. I was at a show a couple of weeks ago and my friend and I were talking about those you could tell there were some there just to "be seen". Those fidgeting during instrumentals and less-"popular" tunes vs. those of us absolutely riveted by every note played (it was a Vince Guaraldi tribute with Houston Person and Joe Locke as featured guests!)

you ain't never lied. krall's piano is actually hip and interesting. her singing is for people who don't like surprises in their jazz. i once saw dianne reeves live in st. louis, she hit a high note at the end of yesterdays that literally pulled me out of my seat. the woman next to me in a fur coat was asleep. she's probably a krall fan. krall wouldn't interrupt her sleep.

what a lovely tribute!

I love, love, love Carmen. She's my absolute favorite from that era (and, really, in the top overall for me). I can see Krall's merits- they don't need to be mutually exclusive, especially since it's apples and oranges. I don't dig Diana's singing nearly as much as her playing, though.

This is a lesson in registration: falsetto and chest balance.
