About "Isn't It Romantic? (Live At The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco / 1987)" by Carmen McRae
McRae's 'Isn't It Romantic?' is less a swoon than a raised eyebrow. She delivers the standard with a knowing wink, the live audience's laughter a conspiratorial hum. The romance is real, but so is the irony—a duet that dances on the edge of sincerity.
