An Introduction to Sarah Vaughan So, everyone here knows I'm kinda of a big fan of Sarah Vaughan's. Anywho, someone asked me the other day if they were just beginning to listen to her what would I recommend. I suggested the above. This is Vaughan at her best with her trio, you can hear that wonderous voice, how she glides over the notes, and hear her sublime tone. For me I always thought less was so much more...

Can you post her singing "Whatever Lola Wants"? I love her singing that.....but I have a problem posting videos correctly | |

Any compilation that includes "Tenderly" is a good start, although I'd argue that "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Black Coffee" should be within possession as a start too, the small group sessions she did in Columbia.
Was that the radio broadcast you mentioned in the organ thread? | |||||||||||||||||

Whenever I decided to put together a jazz collection, she and Billie will be the ones I will put together first. | |

Correction'
I ( live on the radio with Woody Herman - "On Green Dolphin Street") have it, I just forgot about it... called my bro' in a panic. Sarah Vaughan along with Count Basie Band appeared on the radio live, as a recruitment promotion by the US National Guard in the 60's. Other jazz & pop singers and muscians participated in these types of promotions.
Hence the title of the album - 'On The Radio: 1963 Live Guard Sessions'.
This Guard Session "On Green Dolphin Street" that had me on my floor. Let me say this .... An Intro to SV, mastering isn't the best. The "On Green Dolphin Street" on the Live Guard Session is as clear as a bell. You can clearly hear Woody Herman's clarinet and the chord changes by the piano player (Nat Pierce) when Vaughan held the note for the last 15 seconds of the song.
By the way both recording on the respective albums are one and the same, some recording engineer needs to be rapped on the knuckles for F'in it up.
Here it is....
