Description
Although he was popular with the public since the beginning of his career in the late 1940s, the enormous success of his 1959 album Time Out allowed Dave Brubeck to get a free check to do whatever project he wanted. His renown made it possible for him to include important guest stars on his albums, such as Leonard Bernstein, Jimmy Rushing, and of course, Carmen McRae (1920-1994), who joined him for the first time on Tonight Only! In fact, she only participates on four of the LPs nine numbers. Tristesse is a solo piano track by Brubeck, while Melanctha, Talkin and Walkin, Late Lament and Tonight Only are by the Quartet featuring Paul Desmond. A fourth number with McRae was also recorded on the September 9, 1960 session which produced all of the albums vocal selections: Therell Be No Tomorrow, which was included as the last track on an album titled Point on Jazz, which was otherwise a piano duet. It has been added here as a bonus closing Side A.
