{"product_id":"cocktail-hour-sarah-vaughan","title":"Cocktail Hour: Sarah Vaughan","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSarah Vaughan possesses some of the finest pipes of any jazz singer ever. Her luxurious, full-throated voice has operatic qualities that she exploits, rather than disguises, by indulging her yen for vibrato-laden swoops from the lowest to highest notes. Her virtuosity serves to highlight the inherent qualities in a wide range of songs. On this two-CD set, Vaughan moves from dreamy classics like \"Star Eyes\" and \"Body and Soul\" to the gospel-influenced \"Lord's Prayer\" and \"Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child\" to swinging numbers like \"It Might as Well Be Spring\" and \"What a Difference a Day Makes.\" And despite the uneven sound quality on this set, Vaughan forces you to listen anew. Many a singer has tried to emulate Sarah Vaughan and failed, putting too much emphasis on the filigree and not enough on the substance. As this set proves--without any session information and the bumpy sound--Vaughan had the voice and attitude to put substance into anything. These two discs only serve to highlight her formidable talents. --Wally Shoup, ISBN13: B00001ZSZJ ISBN10: B00001ZSZJ Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109100146851,"sku":"B10.30.11 F_03-24-25_UBD_H00009NG","price":27.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/416B0HKGSNL.jpg?v=1754565056","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/cocktail-hour-sarah-vaughan","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
