"Sassy" Sarah Vaughan was a singer whose respect from fellowartistes was as great as her popularity with fans. No less apersonage than Frank Sinatra once said, with tongue firmly infamous cheek, that "Sassy is so good that when I listen to her Iwant to cut my wrists with a dull razor." Vaughan certainly hadthe smoothest voice of her generation. She could swoop fromthe highest of notes down to the depths. The materialshowcased here ranges from 1945 to 1959 and majors onexcerpts from the Great American Songbook like Nice Work IfYou Can Get It, tackled here in 1950 with George Treadwelland his All-Stars.
