Best jazz singer in the world ever! There are others I dig but not so well as Sass. She taught the world how jazz should be sung. She was a consummate musician, played great piano. I miss her music so much and her as well. We all hung out together every night back in the day when she was in town.

If you are hip to the history of modern jazz, you know that Dizzy and Sarah were there at the very beginning, in the studio in 1945 with Bird and other legends, making pioneering records that would change the face of the music forever. To see them reunited on stage all those years later, and performing one of the signature tunes from that early bop era, brings goosebumps.... What does it feel like to be on stage performing music that you literally invented 40 years prior? Surreal stuff...
@mhstpt12 жыл бұрын
Dizzy represents the pioneers of bop, including Thelonius Monk and his mighty pen. Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter bridged the gap from bop to post bop and captured both so artistically. With these artists backing Sassie, how could go wrong. hers was as fine an instrument as any horn blower and yes - she truly was a musician.

Billy Higgins was always in the zone when he accompanied the likes of Lee Morgan, Dizzy, Donald Bryd (Black Jack), Dexter Gordon etc. I recently read that he was the house drummer at most Blue Note recording sessions. I met him at his World Stage Jazz Club in Los Angeles. It was a small intimate place like the Jazz Bakery.(L.A. area) I miss that indelible smile too.

@MusicLoverBrian1 - Absolutely agreed! No need to tell me twice lol. I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, for me as a Black man living in the era of (C)rap music & pop cow manure I am expected to listen to the "popular" stuff. But instead I listen to S Vaughan, Monk, George Benson, Coltrane, Nat Cole & even R&B greats like Jill Scott, Keith Sweat, Boyz II Men so I get a lot of hate for liking "quality" over crappy "quantity" of modern (C)crap music & little boy pop music.

@JazzyZenBrotha Don't get me started on the modern junk that is being thrown out there for the public from the so-called music industry. Sarah Vaughan has more talent, skill, and artistry wrapped around her little finger than these pop singers who called themselves "singers" and "artists". Sarah Vaughan is a TRUE singer and artist and it shows in her music. You can tell that she puts her whole self into a song, giving it all that she got and in the end she delivers nothing but quality.
