4.0 out of 5 stars A Mixed Bag Musically, Mediocre Sound and Picture, November 28, 2011
This review is from: Jazz Casual DVD - Vocals Vol. 1 (Carmen McRae, Mel Torme, Jimmy Rushing) (DVD)
This DVD is three one-half hour shows produced at KQED in San Francisco in the early 60s. All the stars in the rating are for Carmen and Jimmy Rushing. Torme comes off as egotistical and hollow.

This is Carmen's working trio -- Norman Simmons, Victor Sproles, and Walter Perkins. Mel is working in front of Gary Lang, Perry Lind, and Benny Barth. The delightful surprise is Jimmy Rushing, who mostly plays piano, chats with host Ralph Gleason, and sings a bit.

I was working as a TV studio engineer when this material was produced, and the everyday quality of videotape was far better than what is on this DVD.
