“Vaughan probably never sang better, though her career stretched on into the 1980s. Brown was gone in the blink of an eye, but what he left behind stands in an extraordinarily clear focus, like the memory of a lost friend.” PENGUIN GUIDE TO JAZZ “Between the late 1940s and the late 1980s, Sarah Vaughan recorded often, but there are not many sessions as perfect as this one in her discography. Backed by the great Clifford Brown, who creates solos made of gold and brass. Grandiose.” JAZZ MAGAZINE
