Possessor of one of the most wondrous voices of the 20th century, Sarah Vaughan ranked with Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday in the very top echelon of female jazz singers. She often gave the impression that with her wide range, perfectly controlled vibrato, and wide expressive abilities, she could do anything she wanted with her voice. Sarah Vaughan's legacy as a performer and a recording artist will be very difficult to match in the future.

From 1961-62, Sarah Vaughan recorded two albums while accompanied by just guitar and bass with guitarist Mundell Lowe and bassist George Duvivier. Surprisingly, Lowe only has one solo, so the emphasis throughout is exclusively on Sassy's magnificent voice. The album mostly sticks to wonderful ballads, with a couple of exceptions (most notably "Great Day"), and is a quiet and intimate affair, with Vaughan marvelously and passionately subtle. This is an excellent set (34½ minutes).
