Ronnie Scott's Presents Carmen McRae 'Live' is a live album by American singer Carmen McRae, recorded during the singer's July concerts at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in 1977.
The recording also featured pianist Marshall Otwell, bassist John Gianelli and drummer Joey Baron.
Also she caught a cold during two weeks of performances, and the applause from the audience seemed to her more respectful than sincere.
In 1977, the singer returned to the club stage with her band and successfully held a series of concerts.
[2] Mike Hennessey, music critic and editor of Jazz Journal International, noted that MacRae was in great shape, singing with that effortless grace and authority that stems from years of hard work, and talking between songs with that easy, outrageous frankness that characterizes a born performer who feels at home in an intimate club the atmosphere.
