"The Hong Kong Bar at The Century Plaza Hotel was the place to be in the great musical sixties whenever Carmen McRae made her frequent and sold-out appearances at this happening night spot...this great release takes one back to those wondrous nights of sheer musical bliss with Jazz Legend and just plain great singer Carmen McRae! Carmen McRae is in peak form as was the case of all of her great Atlantic Records lp's so don't miss this rare musical treasure and thank you Carmen McRae for these find collections you left behind for us to savor and enjoy and for all those great concerts over the years that many of us enjoyed. There was nothing like going to see Carmen McRae in person and I enjoyed that pleasure numerous times from my teens in 1967 at the famed Shelley's Mann Hole to her last brilliant Los Angeles performance in 1991 at Catalina Bar & Grill where she received numerous standing ovations from a sold out crowd which included many famous faces in the music world...this is the way it always was at a Carmen McRae concert! Enjoy!!!"
