Is Carmen McRae worth getting into?

Can anyone suggest some music by her?

Yes. Off the top of my head.

1954 • Carmen McRae – Carmen McRae
1957 • Carmen McRae – After Glow

1962 • Carmen McRae – Live At Sugar Hill San Francisco

1964 • Carmen McRae – The 1964 Orchestra Recordings

I thought Carmen's work during the ealier part of her career was her best. She did a tribute album to Billie Holiday, I can't recall the name of the album at this moment, excellent.
