	Jazz: McRae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Carmen McRae always had a nice voice (if not on the impossible level of an Ella Fitzgerald or Sarah Vaughan) but it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and ironic interpretations of lyrics that made her most memorable.
		McRae would record pretty steadily up to 1989 and, although her voice was higher in the 1950s and her phrasing would be even more laidback in later years, her general style and approach did not change much through the decades.
		Carmen McRae, who refused to quit smoking, was forced to retire in 1991 due to emphysema.

		Carmen McRae was raised in a middle class family of Jamaican heritage who encouraged her study of the piano.
		McRae and Clarke separated in the late Forties but, after she had spent a few years struggling in Chicago?she had a few stints as a singer?pianist in small clubs?he helped her to reestablish herself in New York.
		McRae appeared frequently in the early Fifties at Minton?s, where she polished her instrument in front of small combos, becoming in the process one of the few vocalists who not only handled the rhythmic and harmonic challenge of bebop but mastered it.

	Carmen McRae "At Ratso's - Volumes 1 & 2" CD review on AudioRevolution.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Carmen McRae was not a particularly distinctive artist, nor was she one of our best-loved jazz singers, but she was always consistently good, and these two live CDs capture her at her best.
		In fact, McRae had her ear specifically tuned to the goings on in pop radio at that time, as “For Once In My Life” and “All By Myself” are also given jazz treatments here.
		Her take on Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself” is especially effective, since she wisely removed some of the originator’s unnecessary excess drama, and changed it into a much quieter meditation on loneliness.

	Carmen McRae - Verve Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Born in Harlem, she studied piano as a child and her parents encouraged her to go classical, but the world of jazz and what she called the Great American Songbook was beckoning.
		Through their influence, one of McRae’s early songs, "Dream of Life", was recorded by Teddy Wilson’s longtime collaborator Billie Holiday.
		McRae is simultaneously cool and cutting-edge sharp, relaxed and swinging, putting over all manner of material in all manner of settings.

		Singer Carmen McRae was born April 8, 1920, to West Indian parents in Harlem.
		McRae spent two years as a secretary in Washington D.C. She didn't miss a beat, getting an 18-month gig with the Mercer Ellington band in 1946.

	Carmen McRae: Carmen Sings Monk ---Ink Blot Magazine
		Carmen McRae studied both vocals and piano from an early age.

	Rhapsody Music: Download, Listen, Play & Burn Carmen McRae
		The wonderfully icy McRae was one of the finest jazz singers of the twentieth century.
		McRae studied the singing styles of Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, but she rarely displayed their raw emotion.
		McRae hated the term "jazz singer," saying if Sinatra was a pop singer then so was she.

		I had by that time lived in New York's Greenwich Village for a couple of years, and went to hear Carmen McRae when she made an appearance at one of the holy shrines of jazz located in my neighborhood, a club with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and great Italian food.
		Carmen McRae arrived dressed for the gig, and like many before and since, she checked her makeup and hair in a miniscule Ladies Room.
		On my new radio show, I often play Carmen's recordings, hoping some other young singer may one day comprehend her musical wisdom, and come to appreciate that salty edge which distinguished Carmen from all others.

		Carmen's rendition of Tommy Wolf's SPRING CAN REALLY HANG YOU UP THE MOST is downright uncanny, and really captures the emotion behind the changing of the seasons for the seasoned storyteller that Carmen has become during this number.
		Until about the time of this recording Carmen was caught up in "singing" as in she sounded pretty at the expense of interpreting the song, living the song, feeling the song.
		Carmen is high up on the hill when it comes to the artistry of song.

		Another prime example of how Carmen Mcrae's Decca period was the best that pop and jazz singing could be.
		Mcrae's intellignece, good taste (excellant song selection), phrasing, mellow range, and of course, dramatics made this one of the best albums of all time.
		This is a shiny bright set, crisply arranged with large ensembles and Carmen at the top of her form vocally and stylistically.

	Carmen McRae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Carmen McRae has little of the virtuosic range and uses few of the extroverted effects of Sarah Vaughan or Dinah Washington, yet she's their equal.
		Rather than imitate the Holiday lilt of the thirties, Carmen McRae introduces effectively organized rhythmic variations that illuminate the lyrics.
		With her transparent diction, and her clipped phrasing, she seems to be placing words like darts.

		McRae was at the top of her form.
		McRae was influenced by the bop masters of her time, and she doesn't hesitate to give her offerings a boppish inflection.
		When McRae sang a song, you knew exactly what her interpretation of the words conveyed.

		Carmen McRae : Birds of a Feather (Special Packaging)
		Carmen McRae is supported by a good small group, directed and arranged by Ralph Burns, featuring guitarist Mundell Lowe and many solos for an uncredited "tenorman" (i.e., Ben Webster).
		Both McRae and Webster do their best on the driving, horn-heavy score for "Bob White (Whatcha Gonna Swing Tonight)." First, Webster follows closely along with trumpeter Irwin "Marky" Markowitz while McRae vocalizes clearly and with some swing, then launches a beautiful solo before McRae returns for the closer.

		Married twice to jazz musicians she made her recorded debut as Carmen Clarke while the wife of drummer Kenny Clarke.
		During the bebop revolution at Minton’s Playhouse she had a stint as intermission pianist, which is likely where she first fell under the influence of Thelonious Monk’s music.
