Day 9: Sarah Vaughan - At Mister Kelly's (1957)


This album was recorded live at the popular Chicago jazz club, Mister Kelly's, in 1957. Reviewers have said it was Sarah at her best and I am apt to believe them. I enjoyed the album. Not many of the songs were the fast kind of jazz I've come to enjoy but I do like slow love songs too. Sarah's banter with the crowd and her impersonation of Ella Fitzgerald were entertaining. Her voice is lovely and mellow which makes this album a joy to listen to. 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Willow Weep For Me, Thou Swell, Embraceable You, Be Anything (But Be Mine) & Honeysuckle Rose.
