Sarah Vaughan Duke Ellington - Song Book Two
Review by Ian Wortley
Song Book Two by Sarah Vaughan Duke Ellington is a timeless classic that showcases the legendary jazz singer's amazing vocal range and emotive power. The album is a tribute to the Duke Ellington songbook, featuring some of his most iconic compositions, including "Take the A Train," "Mood Indigo," and "Sophisticated Lady."
From the moment the first notes of the album's opening track, "Take the A Train," hit the listener's ears, it's clear that they're in for something special. Vaughan's voice is pure magic, effortlessly gliding through the complex melodies and intricate arrangements that define Ellington's music.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)," a haunting ballad that showcases Vaughan's ability to convey deep emotion through her vocals. Her voice is at its most vulnerable here, and the result is a stunning performance that will give listeners goosebumps.
