3 new tracks in KPLU’s All That Jazz rotation
2 Dec
Sarah Vaughan in 1946
Introducing Nick’s Picks. This weekly contribution to Groove Notes features tracks new to KPLU’s All That Jazz rotation exclusively picked by KPLU’s music director Nick Francis.
This week’s picks are three tracks from Sarah Vaughan’s (1924-1990) first long-play album “In Hi-Fi.”
Nick says, these three classic standard tunes consist of exceptional arrangements, great singing stretching from true female baritone lows to mezzo-soprano highs by the young Sarah Vaughn, and accompaniments from Miles Davis.
The first track “Nice Work If You Can Get It” recorded in 1950 features back-up instrumentals and a solo from Miles Davis.
“Come Rain or Come Shine”
“Ain’t Misbehavin’ ”
