Description

|
|
|
Vaughan and her trio teamed with the "no Count" Basie band for this 1981 collection, casting a spell that evokes the days when singer and orchestra shared the stage at the original Birdland. The program covers the alpha and omega of Vaughan's career, with her early hit "If You Could See Me Now" bookended by the title track. Other highlights include "All The Things You Are," "Indian Summer," "Ill Wind," "Just Friends," "From This Moment On," and "I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues." "An artist whose steely will and floating grandeur were reflected in her nicknames, 'Sassy' and 'the Divine One,' she set such towering musical standards that it's doubtful anyone will be able to equal them…. In her hands, even a tune such as 'Send in the Clowns,' which became her signature number, could set off thrilling artistic and emotional fireworks. Ella Fitzgerald, whose smooth, skipping style was the yin to Miss Vaughan's soaring and swooping yang, once called her peer 'the greatest singing talent in the world'."—Chicago Sun-Times
