Our Take

Sarah Vaughan’s “Sarah + 2 / After Hours” is a delightful intersection of elegance and intimacy. Each track on this album is like a glass of fine wine, filled to the brim with Vaughan's smooth, velvety vocals.

"Sarah + 2" sees Vaughan team up with guitarist Barney Kessel and trumpeter Joe Newman for a series of upbeat and swinging tunes. The chemistry between the trio is palpable, with each musician taking turns to shine while never stepping on each other's toes. From the seductive "Detour Ahead" to the uptempo "Mean to Me," Vaughan effortlessly glides through these tracks with grace and style.

But it's on "After Hours" where Vaughan truly shines. Stripped down to just her voice and pianist Jimmy Jones, Vaughan delivers some of the most heartfelt and raw performances of her career. Tracks like "My Man's Gone Now" and "Wonder Why" showcase Vaughan's unparalleled ability to convey emotion through her voice, leaving listeners hanging onto every word.

Overall, "Sarah + 2 / After Hours" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. Vaughan's timeless vocals paired with the impeccable musicianship of Kessel and Newman make this album a true gem in the world of jazz. So grab a glass of your favourite drink, dim the lights, and let Sarah Vaughan serenade you into the night. Cheers!
