She had had the idea │ ▓█ █▓ │ to record his music from shortly after his death, but it │ ▓█ █▓ │ was four years before "Carmen Sings Monk" became a │ ▓█ █▓ │ reality. As direct and, even, understated as are her │ ▓█ █▓ │ vocal interpretations of the great composers signature │ ▓█ █▓ │ tunes ùand all of his greatest works are here ùher │ ▓█ █▓ │ admission that this project was a challenge might have │ ▓█ █▓ │ been the biggest understatement of all. │ ▓█ █▓ │ McRae approached the deceptively complex material with │ ▓█ █▓ │ her unaffected vocal delivery: speaking directly, even │ ▓█ █▓ │ emphatically, but never raising her voice. Recorded both │ ▓█ █▓ │ live and in the studio, in 1988, it is her valedictory │ ▓█ █▓ │ album actually, a tribute so affectionate as to serve as │ ▓█ █▓ │ a farewell tribute to its subject as well. │ ▓█ █▓ │ │ ▓█ █▓ │ │ ▓█ █▓ │ │ ▓█ ██ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ██ ██ ▄ ▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄ ▄ ██ ██ ██ ██ ┌─[GROUPNEWS]───────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ██ ██ │ │ ██ ██ │ Old Skool Classics was established in the year 2001 │ ██ ██ │ putting out only the dopest ol skool classix.
