Comments

A beautiful near-mint copy (except a minor browning near the spine). Also, it's a great-sounding copy indeed!

All tunes also available on EP-1-6096, EP-1-6097, EP-1-6098 and EP-1-6099.

Inside The Groove

Sarah Vaughan's second leader album on EmArcy, featuring EmArcy's stars such as Clifford Brown and Paul Quinichette.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

Probably one of the best famous EmArcy albums - the Devine Sarah's first 12-inch LP on EmArcy label. The arrangements by Ernie Wilkins are very accurate and appropriate for the players on this album. Her singing is fascinating and awesome - like playing an instrument. Also, the performances by Clifford Brown, Paul Quinichette and Herbie Mann are also superb. But please remember that this album's highlight is (of course) Sarah Vaughan's awesome singing. Although Clifford Brown contributed so many at the session, this great album couldn't be complete without her voice.

A superb album with no doubts. A masterpiece.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)
