Sarah Vaughn: The George Gershwin Songbook Volume 1

Sarah Vaughn’s voice and phrasing take a backseat to the strings and intrusive orchestration in much of this album but… the last three songs with snappy big band arrangements mercifully without strings give us full throttle Sarah without the clutter. Gershwin and strings were never a natural combination.

How wonderful.
Howard and I saw her with Dizzy Gillespie at a lawn concert at Jackie Robinson's in Stamford.
Memorable, and lucky, too
