Personnel: Sarah Vaughan (vocals); Barney Kessel (guitar); Joe Comfort (bass instrument)
Her voice was a force of nature, and throughout the 1940s and '50s Sarah Vaughan was paired with every conceivable permutation of jazz combo. In 1962, the critical and popular success of the novel, bare-bones AFTER HOURS album (recorded with only a guitarist and bassist) inspired this similarly spare follow-up from the same year. Here, she teams with guitarist Barney Kessel and upright bassist Joe Comfort on 11 torchy standards that showcase her full-bodied sostenuto and her sophisticated approach to harmonics. "When Sunny Gets Blue," in particular, shimmers in this simple setting, and Kessel and Comfort provide tasteful support at every turn.
"This collection of recordings from 1962 is on par with Vaughan's After Hours...And probably even surpasses that stellar recording. Vaughan is in extremely fine voice. Her control and restraint create an intoxicating and sophisticated atmosphere. The musical accompaniment is purposely understated and the interplay between the Divine One and her musicians is masterful. This collection has been out of circulation for a long time. This is one you want to snatch up. I would include this in my top 20 vocal recordings of all time."
