sarah vaughan cd review

Sarah Vaughan was a solo vocalist in most of songs except when she did a duet with Joe Williams in “ If I Were A Bell” and “Teach Me Tonight”. In this album Count Bassie’s Band played the melodies for Sara Vaughan. The instruments & players are as follows: Sony Cohon, Thad Jones, Joe Newman & Snooky Young on trumpets; Henry Coker, Al Grey, Benny Powell on trombones; Marshall Royal on alto saxophone & clarinet; Frank Wess on alto saxophone, tenor saxophone & flute; Frank Foster on tenor saxophone; Billy Mitchell on tenor saxophone; Charlie Fowkles on baritone saxophone & guitar; Eddie Jones on bass; and Sony payne on drums.
