A good opportunity to hear Brewer in later years live is the CD "Live At
carnegie Hall and Montreaux for Collectables from 2001 with 16 tracks. A
great two-fer on Collectables is the "Songs Of Bessie Smith / The Cotton
Connection" which features the Duke Ellington band led by Mercer Ellington,
and the Count Basie band on each CD. A Sony release from the early nineties
called "Memories Of Louis" featuring songs made famous by Louis Armstrong,
and another nostalgia piece from Sony "I Dig Big band Singers". She was
certainly America's Sweetheart of the Fifties, but on some of her available
recordings shows the great range and versatility that she has possessed in
her vocalizing for so many years. Teresa Brewer - an American musical icon
for all time.
