Title: Compact Jazz Personnel: Sarah Vaughan (vocals) Recorded: Various Label: Verve Comments: "Sassy" Sarah Vaughan was quite simply one of the most impressive vocalists of the 20th century in any genre. In fact, it is widely agreed upon that had Sarah decided to pursue a career in opera, she would have rivaled the giants of her time. The control of her four octave range was just mind-boggling. And to consider the fact that she would rarely warm up is just even more incredible. A hard-drinking, swearing, ball-buster, musicians were just in awe of her talent and presence. This CD is a great introduction to her prolific career.
