Carmen McRae stands as one of the most influential and foundational vocalists in jazz history, celebrated alongside icons like Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Renowned for her masterfully behind-the-beat phrasing and unparalleled storytelling, McRae was a true musician’s singer who brought dramatic precision to every lyric. Get Set For Miss Jazz: 1953-57 is an essential 16-track vinyl compilation chronicling the defining early years of her solo career. Spanning 1953 to 1957, this collection beautifully captures her evolution from a New York club performer into a major jazz force. The anthology features landmark early recordings, including her poignant 1953 interpretation of "A Foggy Day" and the high-energy "Get Set." Showcasing her peerless command of standards like "Midnight Sun" and "Lush Life," this premium retrospective is an absolute must-have for vocal jazz aficionados and vinyl collectors.
