On the Air: Sinatra, Miles, Brubeck and McRae

carmen Mcrae Flamingo“On the Air” features recently-released archive radio broadcasts of Frank Sinatra (his Lucky Strike show from the late 1940s), Dave Brubeck (the Quartet with Paul Desmond in the mid-1950s, hitting its stride several years in advance of its landmark album Time Out), Carmen McRae (her concert debut in Europe, recorded at the beginning of the 1960s), and Miles Davis (his great late-1950s group with Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane). These vintage performances catch all of the featured artists in prime periods of their careers.
