  1. It just isn’t Spring Jazz Fest without a version of “April in Paris” so here’s The Manhattan Jazz Orchestra’s take on the Vernon Duke/Count Bassie classic (youtu.be/8QAYsSY5Kss?si=ClesZV) followed by a rendition by The Divine One herself: Miss Sarah Vaughan (youtu.be/E6f9FKBdnjI?si=E1EwP3)

  2. Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan, 1955 on EmArcy

    Later reissued as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, this was Vaughan’s second self-titled LP, and her second studio album. The band also includes Paul Quinichette on tenor sax, Roy Haynes on drums, Herbie Mann on flute, and Jimmy Jones on piano.

    It was originally recorded December 18th, 1954, and released in 1955. What a masterful set of recordings.

    My copy—via private sale—is the Acoustic Sounds Series reissue from 2021, on 180 gram vinyl, with a gatefold cover and an inner liner about the series and the role of Quality Record Pressing and Chad Kassem.

  3. Sarah Vaughan, Sarah Vaughan Sings George Gershwin, 1958 on Mercury

    Fantastic collection of Sarah Vaughan doing Gershwin standards from the twenties and thirties, supported by Hal Mooney & His Orchestra.

    My copy—via a private sale—is a 2xLP gatefold reissue in mono by Verve/UMe, which reproduces the old Mercury labels.
