Sarah Vaughan – And Her Trio: Swingin’ Easy

Description

LIMITED EDITION 1000 COPIES ONLY – 180-GRAM VIRGIN VINYL – THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 5 BONUS TRACKS.

Swingin’ Easy finds the great Sarah Vaughan backed only by a rhythm section of piano, bass & drums, a format in which she only recorded a few times during this initial period of her career.

This is one of Sarah Vaughan’s lesser- known albums for Emarcy, combining two separate trio sessions from 1954 and 1957. The earlier date includes pianist John Malachi, bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Roy Haynes. The second trio includes the same drummer, plus pianist Jimmy Jones and bassist Richard Davis. The CD is rounded off with four live performance recorded Mister Kelly’s in Chicago during August 1957.
