Comments

with original EmArcy inner sleeve.

Inside The Groove

Sarah Vaughan's trio LP, featuring her very first EmArcy recordings (previously available on MG-26005) plus Feb. 1957 trio sessions.

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

8 out of 12 tracks are originally issued on EmArcy MG-26005 10-inch, featuring her very first EmArcy session including legendary “Shulie A Bop” track. Other 4 tracks are from 1957 session. Anyway all tracks easily prove how the Devine Sarah Vaughan can swing and sing flawlessly, smoothy and supreme.

A great bop vocal album indeed.

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

10 out of 10
