"No Count Sarah" was an album she cut with the Count Basie Orchestra (w/another pianist) that had a lot of great music. Jazz standards like "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "Just One of Those Things" receive strong treatment. But, the cuts that make this wax special for me are her version of Horace Silver's "Doodlin" and Thad Jones' "No 'Count Blues. Her phrasing on these was perfect--what a musican! The sound of my original EmArcy LP is excellent.
Sarah Vaughan....Best Performances and Recordings
Sarah Vaughan is often mentioned in the same breadth as Ella and Billie. I have several really good recordings/performances of the latter but none of Sarah Vaughan's work on LP. Can someone point me to a few great titles I should get? Skip any that would not rate highly for sound quality as this, for me, is crucial to the overall enjoyment of the performance. Thanks!
