  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.

    Sarah Vaughan & Her All-Stars

    Interlude

    Night In Tunisia

    Continental Label Records 1944

    • Night in Tunisia is a musical composition written by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942 while he was playing with the Earl Hines Band

    Night in Tunisia is a Jazz standard

    It is also known as "Interlude", under which title it was recorded (with lyrics) by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day.
    Gillespie himself called the tune Night in Tunisia

    Although the song is sometimes titled "A Night in Tunisia", the proper title is Night in Tunisia

    • The complex bass line in the "A section" is notable for avoiding the standard walking bass pattern of straight quarter notes, and the use of oscillating half-step-up/half-step-down chord changes gives the song a unique, mysterious feeling
    • Like many of Gillespie's tunes, it features a short written introduction and a brief interlude that occurs between solo sections — in this case, a twelve-bar sequence leading into a four-bar break for the next soloist.

    • Sarah Vaughan and Her All-Stars

    • Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet)

    • Aaron Sachs (clarinet)

    • Georgie Auld (tenor Sax)

    • Jack Lesberg (Double Bass)

    • Chuck Wayne (guitar)

    • Piano/Producer: Leonard Feather (piano)

    • Morey Feld (drums)

    • Recorded in New York City December 31 1944 (Continental Label Records)

    Interlude

    Lyrics

    I lived in a dream for a moment
    We'd loved in a midnight solitude
    But I never knew at the moment
    Love was just an interlude

    I thrill as your arms would enfold me
    A kiss of surrender says the mood
    Then heaven fell down when you told me
    Love's a passing interlude

    The magic was unsurpassed
    Too good to last
    The magic my heart once knew
    Is dressed in blue

    The shadow of night all around me
    I walk in a moonlight solitude
    When I thought romance really found me
    Love was just an interlude

    The shadow of night all around me
    I walk in a moonlight solitude
    When I thought romance really found me
    Love was just an interlude

    Z

  16. Sarah Vaughan, Duke Ellington: Song Book One, 1980 on Pablo Today

    First of two records of Sarah Vaughan doing Duke Ellington songs recorded in 1979 and released in 1980 (there is a Song Book Two, also released in 1980). Produced by Norman Granz, and engineered by Val Valentin and Bob Simpson.

    Supporting artists include Waymon Reed (trumpet), J. J. Johnson (trombone), Frank Foster (tenor sax), Frank Wess (flute, tenor sax), Zoot Sims (tenor sax), Jimmy Rowles & Mike Wofford (piano), Joe Pass & Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar), Andy Simpkins (bass), and Grady Tate (drums), with Billy Byers arranging and conducting.

    Pablo Today was a sub-label that started in 1979 and focused on “non-mainstream jazz” – not sure what that means but I’ve had great luck picking up Pablo records in general.

    My copy, via Beatnick Records in Montréal Québec, is an original 1980 US pressing. with “Manufactured by Pablo Records” rim text.
