Carmen McRae famously preferred to record live and in small group settings. The best one to me is The Great American Songbook (Atlantic), but other good ones are Live and Doin It (Mainstream), Fine and Mellow (Concord), Live at Sugar Hill(Time), etc. You might also enjoy As Time Goes By- Live at Dug ( Catalyst), a beautiful recording where she accompanies herself on piano. Can't vouch for the availability of any of these on CD, however...
Follow Ups:
Amongst my favorites although it mixes studio and live settings and the small jazz combos. I'll definitely look into the others you listed!
with the great, and I do mean great, Jimmy Rowles on piano, and Joe
Pass on guitar. It's a must have recording, I think.
Ditto those two Ella records you mentioned; you beat me to it. J Rowles sounded like no one else and IMHO the late 70's was his best period. The same for Joe Pass, who manages, again IMHO, and in spite of his considerable fame and montary success in his time, to be underrated.
