  • Description

    180g virgin vinyl pressing, limited edition of 1000 copies only - the complete album + 1 bonus track. With her intriguing, smoky voice and her graceful, behind-the-beat phrasing and ironic interpretations of song lyrics, Carmen McRae (1922-1994), who started her career as a pianist, became one of the most memorable vocalists in jazz. McRae sang in jazz clubs throughout the United States - and across the world - for over fifty years.

    'After Glow' presents Carmen accompanying herself on piano on four tracks backed by a trio that includes her husband Ike Isaacs on bass, and Specs Wright on drums. For the remaining tracks, Carmen gives way to pianists Ray Bryant and Ronnell Bright joining the trio, each taking four songs apiece.
