Tribute to Sarah Vaughn

Category: Music

I rarely hear anyone speak of the singer Dianne Reeves. Unfortunately it seems that this wonderful singer goes unnoticed by all except the most intense jazz lovers and is mentioned rarely on this forum (at least to my findings). Well since we regularly acknowledge Sarah Vaughn on this site and many others like it, I'm glad to say that Dianne Reeves has released a new album that pays tribute to Sarah Vaughn by singing some of her all time greats. Dianne has not disappointed at all with this release in my opinion should be considered a must have among those of us who cherish progressive, emotional, musical and technically astounding singer. My favorite is track#5 which is titled "If you could see me know" written by Dameron and Sigman. The name of the album is Dianne Reeves celebrating Sarah Vaughn - The calling. Give yourself a treat and check this album out. you won't regret it.

Hmm...I just bought a recently produced Verve compilation of Sarah V's hits called "Dreamsville". It's one of Verve's QUIET NOW series. Great tunes, but almost all are unlistenable and poorly mastered! (I posted the CD on ebay today, if you want it cheap!). ........
Can anyone recommend a collection of Sarah Vaughan ballads that is sonically acceptable? I hate to be a grinch, but I hate buying CDs that are listenable only in the car or from the dining room as background. Thanks. Ernie PS I just bought the remastered best of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong CD. Now THAT sounds great! Anything comparable from Sarah?
