| | Sarah Vaughan Complete Recordings With Clifford Brown CD - Import Sarah Vaughan Discography of CDs
Recorded December 16 and 18, 1954, in New York. Originally released at Emarcy (36004). Includes liner notes by Michael Bourne.
This album joined the talents of legendary jazz singer Sarah Vaughan with those of 24-year-old wonder-trumpeter Clifford Brown for a December, 1954 released on Mercury Records subsidiary EmArcy. A warm and welcoming hiss washes over this album, giving it a graceful, familiar patina. One feels like a privileged listener let in on an intimate closed session.
Brown's playing is sharp and confident throughout, and at times even bears a bit of a racy, histrionic edge. But it is clearly Vaughan who steals the show in this set. The opening and closing strains of "Jim" demonstrate her peerless intonation, as her voice blends with the rest of the instruments to create a mellifluous whole. On "Lullaby of Birdland," Vaughan wallows around her soupy lower register only seconds before breaking into some bebop maneuvering. It is interesting to listen to what kind of interpretive character her tight vibrato and winsome pitch-modulation bring to standards like "September Song," and the Gershwins' "Embraceable You." This is a thoroughly representative collection from one of jazz's all-time greats.
This reissue features the classic collaboration between singer Sarah Vaughan and trumpeter Clifford Brown in a spontaneous yet coherent setting, swinging up a storm. Surrounded by great musicians (Clifford Brown, Herbie Mann, Paul Quinichette, Jimmy Jones and Roy Haynes among others), excellent arrangements by Ernie Wilkins and a program of no less than good and often great songs, she gives inspired performances. Bonus tracks include a complete trio session from the spring of the same year with pianist John Malachi. 20-bit remastered. Lonehill. 2005.

Most of the tracks on this collection come from the mid-'50s, when Louis Armstrong was enjoying a boost in his half-century career. Part of his popularity stemmed from the success of "Mack the Knife," which sold more than a million copies and addressed the decidedly un-pop-song-like subject of a natty, stealthy killer. "Dig man--there goes Mack the Knife" Louis cheerfully states at the top.

After All may have only been a band in the loosest sense of the term, but its only record is a quite wonderful -- if ultimately difficult to categorize -- one-shot relic of the transitional late-'60s. The four members of the combo were actually friends and acquaintances in different bands on the Tallahassee, FL, rock circuit before culling their skills together, along with lyrical assistance from young local poet and songwriter Linda Hargrove, when an opportunity to record an album in a Nashville studio presented itself. The resulting piece of work is the type of strangely compelling hybrid album that could only have come together in the musical gumbo of the post-psychedelic era. Drummer and primary vocalist Mark Ellerbee wrote most of the music, and his songs are basically freeform, open-ended tone poems that eschew typical verse-chorus and melodic considerations (although the odd melodic hook or harmony surfaces from time to time) for music that is much more amorphous and improvisational. There are elements of rock, R&B, blues, progressive, classical, avant-garde composition, and, to an even greater ...
