I think Sassy's Blues is the must-have one. It's a bit hard to find good compilations of Sarah with lots of swinging stuff on them; so much of what she recorded was either boppish or ballady (or both).
I've already got They Can't Take That Away from Me and I dig it when she comes to the phrase "The way you sing off key" and then she sings the sentence off key on purpose. You got to love such things.
I love Sarah Vaughan! Great clip. She's got such a great signature sound. Jazz musicians can learn to play this song at: http://www.learnjazzstandards.com/index-of-jazz-standards/perdido-with-a-sleeping-lead-tenor/
There's also a great video of Paul Gonsalvez sleeping on the job in Duke Ellington's band! Very funny.
I am not myself terribly familiar with Sarah Vaughan's music, but it is certainly wonderful to see a clip of her here.
ReplyDeleteElla was easier on "Perdido," but this swings kinda nicely.
Oft-dj'ed tunes from Sarah Vaughan:

Shulie a Bop
They Can't Take That Away from Me

ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestions!
ReplyDeleteI'll look out for Sassy's blues.

utmärkt bra. Men vem spelade 1979med henne i uppsala aulan och gjorde skivor DÅ ? Samt 78 till 82
