beginnings in 1944 to 1985 and demonstrating her astonishing combination of gifts, with the luxuriant sound of her voice stretching from warm, evocative ballads to scintillating scat. From the outset of her career, Vaughan was adept at the harmonic subtleties of the newly emergent bop, her skill apparent here in "Interlude" (a vocal version of Dizzy Gillespie's "Night in Tunisia" with the composer adding brash trumpet) and "I Love You", a duet with Billy Eckstine. Every track is a career highpoint, with Vaughan's blend of lyrical nuance and virtuosity making songs like "Misty", "My Man" and "Send In The Clowns" absolutely her own. Her performances here are consistently complemented by brilliant soloists, including trumpeter Clifford Brown, tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims, guitarist Joe Pass and bassist George Duvivier, while her own piano playing enhances the intimacy of "Nearness Of You". --Stuart Broomer
