HE MAKES lyrics live and breathe with
k J meaning; she makes tragedies and
celebrations of life out of every song. She’s the
greatest interpreter of ballads, and the greatest
woman singer of jazz in our time.”
—Ralph Gleason
After more than thirty years of international
tours, awards and albums, she’s hotter than
ever
Celebrate a legend in her own time with an
exuberant welcome from the jazz capital of the
Northwest.
Legendary tap dancer Bill "Bojangles"
Robinson used to say, “ Everything is
copasetic'." For 34 years a few of his best friends
have been making sure things stay that way.
Billie Holiday was the first one to record one
of Carmen McRae’s songs. For thirty years Miss
McRae has dominated jazz polls, collected
awards and earned worldwide acclaim.
THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS . . . still
making tap dance history. . .
. . . one of the greatest jazz singers of ell
time.
