A historic session showcasing the fusion of jazz and vocals
This is a masterpiece produced in collaboration with Clifford Brown and Paul Quinichette, and the charm of her voice stands out particularly in "Embraceable You," accompanied only by the rhythm section.
Sarah Vaughan sings deeply sung standards in her prime, and many of the tracks last around five minutes, giving ample room for each instrument to play solos. Clifford Brown's restrained, virtuoso solos and Paul Kinichette's soft tone blend exquisitely together on this masterpiece.
