Just two words: Sarah Vaughan. That pretty much says it all. Notice the slight nervousness of a young girl who wasn’t quite yet “Sassy” in this 1958 recording of Lover Man.
Eleven years later, Sarah shows greater polish and raises some goosebumps with Polka Dots And Moonbeams. Her trio of Johnny Veith (p), Gus Mancuso (b) and Eddy Pucci (d) offer the perfect complement for The Divine One.
