I LOVE Sarah Vaughan, she just has the most amazing vocal control and range of any jazz/popular singer I can think of.
I'm not usually a fan of live albums but Vaughan sounds note perfect, the recording quality is great, and you get the added charm of Vaughan's extra vocal gymnastics, her sassy banter with the crowd, and her quick-thinking ad-libs any time she happens to forget a lyric.
It's hard to tell, given that it's a sound recording, but at one point it sounds like she knocked over her lyric sheets. Certainly at one point she ad-libs and scats the lyrics for an entire song ("how high the moon")
