| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Sarah Vaughan |
| | Sarah Vaughan is one of a handful of legendary jazz singers who brought the same level of creativity and musicianship to the vocal line that her colleagues brought to sax, bass, and drums. | | | Sarah Vaughan carried on most of her musical career in the shadow of Ella Fitzgerald&; whose supreme gift among many was a precise and natural diction that made her the ideal singer for the sophisticated and witty lyrics of Ira Gershwin, Cole Porter&; and Larry Hart, among others. | | | Vaughan was one of the first singers to be associated with the progressive sounds of bebop in its earliest incarnation. |

| | Vaughan played her voice with a musical creativity, as if it were a "real" instrument, and on this album, she is matched with musicians of equally high quality. | | | Vaughan expertly captured the mood of any tune, and on this album, one of her jazziest, the soloists seem keenly aware of her presence. | | | Like a gifted actress, Sarah Vaughan always made the lyrics come alive, whether it be on poignant ballads or buoyant pop novelties. |

| | Vaughan picked the musicians, she picked the songs, and the result is Sassy at Sarah's purest--undiluted by slick orchestrations or studio enhancements. | | | Sarah's voice is right where it should be on the stage, and the players are recorded accurately and warmly.The song selection is also well thought out. | | | Her scatting scatters "Autumn Leaves" like a whirlwind, and on my favorite track ("In Love in Vain") she stretches and bends the melody as if it were saltwater taffy. |

| | Sarah Lois Vaughan Biography / Biography of Sarah Lois Vaughan Biography |
| | Sarah Lois Vaughan (1924-1990) was one of jazz's greatest singers for almost half a century. | | | Vaughan stayed with the band for a year, and then in late 1945 she began her long solo career. | | | Beginning in 1957, when she first recorded it with Quincy Jones' band, "Misty" was the song most associated with Vaughan and most often requested by live audiences, but by the mid-1970s Stephen Sondheim's "Send in the Clowns" had become her showpiece, the closing musical signature of her concerts. |

| | Vaughan was one of the first singers to fully incorporate bop phrasing in her singing, and to have the vocal chops to pull it off on the level of a Parker and Gillespie. | | | Although not all of her many recordings are essential (give Vaughan a weak song and she might strangle it to death), Sarah Vaughan's legacy as a performer and a recording artist will be very difficult to match in the future. | | | Possessor of one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century, Sarah Vaughan ranked with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday in the very top echelon of female jazz singers. |

| | Sarah Vaugh's song "Broken Hearted Melody" that went to the top of the POP Charts in 1958/59 is an example of a pure artist who can use her voice in any venue. | | | Although this is a CD of high merit, the orchestra and jazz ensemble obsure the beauty, enchantment and (vocal)timbre changes that Sarah Vaughan so often exhibits in her works. | | | The only album that I will not recommend is Sarah Swings The Beatles. |

| | Vaughan performed at the 1974 Monterey Jazz Festival and made an album in 1978 with a quartet consisting of Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Ray Brown, and Louie Bellson. | | | Vaughan probably ranks as a close second only to Ella Fitzgerald in terms of influence, vocal range and sheer, consistent brilliance. | | | Gifted with an extraordinary range and perfect intonation, she would also subtly control the quality of her voice to aid the interpretation of a song, juxtaposing phrases sung in a soft and warm tone with others in a harsh, nasal vibrato or throaty growl. |
