Sarah Vaughan
Vinyl Distraction Pt.94...
Sarah Vaughan EP, 1964. This was a cheapo reissue of a 1955 EP, feeding a market hit by the Beat Boom. Classic jazzers were suddenly old hat but their main audience didn’t have the disposable income of those pesky teenagers. Sarah Vaughan is timeless though. A rich velvety voice that can go deep baritone up to a high C. No Autotune needed. It’s her and Ella Fitzgerald really in the Jazz Diva vocal stakes. She had proper jazz chops too, playing with people like Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. Every home should have some of this singer…
