Carmen Mercedes McRae (April 8, 1920 – November 10, 1994) was an American jazzsinger, composer, pianist, and actress. Considered one of the most influential jazz vocalistsof the 20th century, it was her behind-the-beat phrasing and her ironic interpretations of song lyrics that made her memorable.[1] McRae drew inspiration from Billie Holiday, but established her own distinctive voice. She went on to record more than 60 albums, enjoying a rich musical career, performing and recording in the United States, Europe, and Japan.
Blue Moon is an album by jazz singer Carmen McRae, released on Decca Records in 1956
"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.'"
