Sarah Vaughan - Sarah Vaughan

"Wowza...that's all I have to say. This is one heck of a stunning album. With the likes of the great Clifford Brown on trumpet and some other fine accompanists, this record just blew me away when I first heard it...There is absolutely nothing you can do but devote your complete attention to the artists once your stylus hits the groove...A first class treat!" - Richard Foster, Hi-Fi+, Issue 37

"The Jazz World, instrumentally and vocally, may be said to be split into two camps. There are the followers and the followed; the imitators and the inimitable. True, there are many who have managed to graduate out of the first class into the second (didn’t Dizzy Gillespie once sound just like Roy Eldridge?), but in the case of Sarah Vaughan it can safely be assumed that this talent has been sui generis from the very beginning; that the Newark neighbors who heard her first infant cries in 1924 could tell immediately when it was Vaughan who was wailing…It is doubtful whether anyone, including Sarah herself, is likely to be able to find any more completely satisfying representation of her work, or any more appropriate musical setting, than are offered in this LP. These sides are sure to rank among the foremost achievements of her decade as a recording artist." - from the original liner notes
