The Musicianship of Sarah Vaughan
Long acknowledged as one of the greatest vocal instruments of the 20th century — alongside Enrico Caruso, Maria Callas, and Milton Nascimento — Sarah Vaughan's musicality put her at the top of that class. Having risen from the ranks of bebop and the classic jazz orchestras of the 1940s, Vaughan was an almost-singular rarity, a true "jazz singer" in an instrumental medium. This multimedia tour of Vaughan's artistic output, including photos, video and audio recordings of her greatest work, will highlight the refined and consummate musicianship behind the greatest voice in jazz.
