Carmen McRae 1st Press OZ LP Blue Moon NM ’57 Festival FR121218 Jazz Vocal

Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1957 on Festival Records. Cat: FR121218. This album is in MONO.
Over the next few weeks I will be listing some wonderful Jazz titles from a recently acquired Jazz collection. The original owner passed away back in 1985 and his sister decided to hold onto them for sentimental reasons. She had not touched or played them since then (1985!!). The records are in stunning condition for their age many, apart from a few light age spots on the covers, look like they walked off the shelf yesterday. I hope you enjoy viewing and possibly purchasing these wonderful jazz vinyl artifacts as much as i have in preparing them for sale and listening to them!!

Much of the music on this excellent (but obscure) Carmen McRae LP has not been reissued, and certainly not in complete form. Accompanied by an orchestra arranged and conducted by either Tadd Dameron or Jimmy Mundy, McRae performs both standards and obscurities, ballads and medium-tempo tunes. The big band is pretty anonymous but fine in ensemble work; the main focus is on the singer's voice anyway. Highlights include "Blue Moon," "My Foolish Heart," "I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket" and Mundell Lowe's "All This Could Lead to Love."

Tracks: Blue moon/ My foolish heart/ I was doing all right/ Summer is gone/ I’m putting all my eggs in one basket/ Nowhere/ Until the real thing comes along/ Lush life/ Even if it breaks my heart/ Laughing boy/ Lilacs in the rain/ All this could lead to love.

There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has a few light scuff marks and plays in Near Mint condition. Gloss cover with back flaps has light ring wear and age spots and is in Excellent condition.
