About "Sometimes I'm Happy (Live At The Great American Music Hall, San Francisco / 1987)" by Carmen McRae
Live in 1987, McRae and Carter turn 'happy' into a complex negotiation. The Great American Music Hall crackles with call-and-response joy, yet beneath the swing lies a knowing wink—happiness as a hard-won, fleeting prize. Buoyant tension, expertly played.
