Our Take

Sarah Vaughan's "Great Women Of Song" is a deliciously retro journey into the golden age of jazz divas. Vaughan's iconic vocals shimmer and soar over lush arrangements, transporting listeners to a smoky nightclub filled with glamour and romance.

From the jaunty swing of "Misty" to the sultry groove of "Lullaby of Birdland," Vaughan effortlessly captivates with her velvety tone and impeccable phrasing. Her dynamic range and control are on full display, reminding us why she is considered one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

While some tracks may feel a tad dated, Vaughan's timeless talent shines through, making this album a must-listen for fans of classic jazz and those looking to add a touch of old-school elegance to their playlist. So sit back, pour yourself a martini, and let Vaughan's smooth, sophisticated sounds carry you away to a bygone era of musical excellence. Cheers to the great women of song, and cheers to Sarah Vaughan for being a true legend in her own right.
