Description
|
|
|
|
A four-octave contralto, unparalleled vocal artistry, a jazz instrumentalist’s sense of harmony and rhythm—all of these attributes and more are brought to bear on this highly memorable date by the Divine One. Tunes include "The Lamp Is Low," "'Round Midnight," "Tenderly," and "Scattin' the Blues." "Her voice swoops, sways and swings; it's a veritable roller coaster of pitch, tone and tempo, and Vaughan is in complete control of her instrument at all times…. Vaughan wastes no time showing why she always appears on the short list of jazz's greatest singers: On 'I Remember You' she takes command of the rhythm and bends it to her will; it's impossible not to fall within her spell instantaneously…. 'There Will Never Be Another You,' taken at a breakneck pace, gives the band ample opportunity to blow, and Vaughan stays just far enough ahead to lead the way—at times it sounds as if she will leave them in the dust, but she never does."—All Music Guide
