Our Take

Sarah Vaughan, darling of the jazz world, takes us on a swing-tastic journey through her early years in this compilation album from 1944-48. From the first note, we are transported to a smoky jazz club, where Vaughan's sultry voice effortlessly glides through each track like a smooth cocktail at happy hour.

The album kicks off with the toe-tapping "Don't Blame Me," setting the tone for what's to come. Vaughan's vocal range is on full display here, with each note hitting like a perfectly timed punchline. It's impossible not to be entranced by her powerful yet delicate delivery.

Tracks like "I Can't Get Started" showcase Vaughan's ability to switch from playful scatting to heart-wrenching ballads with ease. The band behind her provides the perfect backdrop, creating a sound that is both classic and timeless.

But it's tracks like "East of the Sun (and West of the Moon)" that truly steal the show. Vaughan's voice dances effortlessly over the swinging rhythms, making you want to grab a partner and hit the dance floor.

Overall, Sarah Vaughan's The Early Years 1944-48 is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. It's a collection of tunes that will transport you back to a bygone era while also reminding you of Vaughan's undeniable talent. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple, sit back, and let Sarah Vaughan serenade you into jazz heaven. Cheers, darling!
