Reviews :
Studying the piano from an early age, Sarah Vaughan became an organist and choir soloist at the Mount Zion Baptist Church as a pre-teen. At the age of eighteen, she entered the famed Amateur Contest at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. Her rendition of the jazz standard "Body and Soul" won her first prize. Billy Eckstine was in the audience that night; six months later, she had joined him in Earl Hines’s big band, and sang alongside Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, as well as being the band's second pianist.
No matter what Sarah Vaughan is singing you notice her amazing control and range, she's able to float effortlessly from the lowest end of the scale to the highest without effort. Her singing is as much second nature as breathing is to most of us.
Listen to Vaughan wrap her voice around a word and you begin to understand what is meant by the term phrasing. You also realize why you don't hear the term used very often anymore as very few modern singers have this ability. It refers to a singer's ability to associate the lyrics of a song with the music, it means more than just being able to carry a tune, it is how you sing the words and the music together. Unfortunately the music of today doesn't really lend itself to that style of singing either. However hearing a singer of the quality of Sarah Vaughan you begin to regret its passing.
The "golden age" of recordings was from 1955 to 1965, at the beginning of the LP and the stereo era, where pure vacuum tube amplification helped produce recordings demonstrating unparalleled fidelity and warmth, lifelike presence and illumination.
