The Great American Songbook is a 1972 live album by Carmen McRae, accompanied by a jazz quartet including Jimmy Rowles and Joe Pass.[1] McRae was a great fan of Rowles and described him in the liner notes to the album as "the guy every girl singer in her right mind would like to work with".[2] Rowles's humorous country and western song, "The Ballad of Thelonious Monk", is featured on the album.[1]
