Swingin' Easy - Sarah Vaughan

Advantages: Class Acts
Disadvantages: None

...This is a compilation double CD, of classic jazz/blues tracks all by women singers from the past 5 decades. Issued originally in 2002 - remember when Norah Jones was all over the radio? Well, she is track number 1, on Side 1, with her hit song 'Don't Know Why'. Apart from this, most of the artisits I recognise from their own work, or hearing them over the years and you certainly get a lot of music for your money. ~~~ Track Listings Disc: 1 1. Norah Jones - Don't Know Why 2. Dinah Washington - Mad About The Boy 3. Aretha Franklin - All Night Long 4. Peggy Lee - The Man I Love 5. Nina Simone - I Wish I Knew How It Felt To Be Free 6.

I must say that I've found in the last Sarah's songs a gift of what I met and left in the atmosphere of the arabian songs I learnt in Tunisia. I think last Sarah songs are absolutely unique and deep in rythms... Read review
