Live at Century Plaza is a live album by American singer Carmen McRae, recorded in late December 1968 at the Los Angeles Century Plaza Hotel's Hong Kong Bar with the participation of a trio consisting of pianist Norman Simmons, drummer Frank Severino and bassist Chuck Domanico.[1]
Atlantic Records established and contractually licensed the rights to the show, but for inexplicable reasons waited years before doing anything with the material, until label executive director Nesuhi Ertegun finally released an abridged version in 1975 in Japan.[2] The album exists in two versions: the 1975 version, which is available only on vinyl and includes 15 tracks, and the expanded 1991 release, which added nine bonus tracks.[3]
