Personnel includes: Sarah Vaughan (vocals); Quincy Jones (arranger, conductor).
Producer: Teddy Reig.
Reissue producer: Michael Cuscuna.
Recorded in January & February 1962. Includes liner notes by Will Friedwald.
Digitally remastered by Malcolm Addey.
This LP finds Sarah Vaughan backed by big-band and string arrangements from Quincy Jones that could easily have been used for a Frank Sinatra date. Vaughan's voice is typically wondrous and sometimes a bit excessive on the ballads (some may find her slightly overblown version of "Maria" a bit difficult to sit through), but in top form on the more swinging numbers. In the repertoire are such tunes as "The Best Is Yet to Come," "The Second Time Around" and "Baubles, Bangles and Beads." More of a middle-of-the-road pop date than a creative jazz session (the personnel is not given), the set is not essential but should please those who love the sound of Vaughan's remarkable voice. The final two "bonus" numbers ("One Mint Julep" and "Mama, He Treats Your Daughter Mean") were originally released as a single. ~ Scott Yanow
