A performance at Carnegie Hall means for artists regardless of their musical faiths high mass of their careers. At the same time the gig in the great hall is a very hot chair, because on that day just being good was not good enough. The players need to keep their usual level not only - they need to excel. Harry Belafonte, the charismatic and experienced performers, this is more than a success: For years, the double album maintains a perennial favorite and top seller in the charts.

In the three-part drama of African American Moods, Caribbean songs and world music excursions, Belafonte celebrates its exciting, titillating song festival at its best, including spontaneous slapstick as they can flare up only in direct contact with a wide-awake as electrified audiences.

Strong gas also give Bob Corman and his 47-piece orchestra, the zusammenschnurrt elastic to slim Combo when the master raises his smoky voice. Of course, all favorites like "Jamaica Farewell", "Day-O" and "Mama Look A Boo Boo" of the party. One can say: Here it is right in the middle, not just a bystander.

Recording: April 1959 Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, Bob Simpson
