You want to know why her nickname was "Sassy"? Listen to this. This is the essential Sarah Vaughan, a self-produced, small-combo session from 1982, featuring Joe Pass on guitar. She picked the musicians, she picked the songs, and the result is Sassy at her purest--undiluted by slick orchestrations or studio enhancements. The atmosphere is loose and lively, Vaughan's voice at its ripest--and she's recorded nice and close so you can almost feel the warmth of her breath coming through the speakers. Her scatting scatters "Autumn Leaves" like a whirlwind, and on my favorite track ("In Love in Vain") she stretches and bends the melody as if it were saltwater taffy. --Jim Emerson

No one talks about the story arc in this album, one of its best features.

Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014

Every 5 star review is right, every comment and opinion. This is one of the greatest albums every made and most if not all the credit goes to Sarah. She not only provided the wonderful voice but she produced this album as well, which means that she controlled every detail from song selection, placement, to overall sound and theme, etc.

Interestingly, I think there is a story being told through these songs which progresses with each track, a story of finding and losing love. A story that portrays Sarah's own "Crazy and mixed up" love life though song. The story arc begins with her not even thinking that finding love is possible but then realizes it was there all the time, right in front of her eyes in "I didn't know what time it was." In "That's all" she declares her love for her partner. "Autumn Leaves" is an upbeat, jazzy, scat, masterpiece with no words, perfectly summing up the exuberance and excitement of new love. In "Love dance" the relationship has started mature, they are comfortable with each other and in their love. "The Island" is what happens when you think about love too much, will it last? you ask yourself, will we die together someday? For now you decide to hold each other in an embrace that you hope will never end, but you know that is has to eventually. Time changes everything and nothing is forever is the theme behind "Seasons." Things aren't going very well right now in "In love in vain", this love is just not the same as it used to be and something need to change. Love is gone and she has given up in "You are too beautiful," in this song she decides that it's over and questions if love is ever real.

Excellent jazz vocal disc even if you are not into that sorta thing

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

Verified Purchase

Heard a track off this on local college jazz station and I'm a sucker for a recording with Joe Pass on it so I had to buy it. This is an excellent sounding cd. I've never been big on jazz vocals and I own no male jazz vocal recordings other than Joe Pizzarelli and very few female jazz vocals. This recording is sublime with Sarah's understated vocals and the in the pocket tight combo backing her. Joe Pass is the man. This disc transcends music genres and is just MUSIC. Highly recommended.

Sassy does it again! Her instrument is simply mystifying.

I love that she produced and directed and selected every tune and musician on this CD. So often an artist is under the direction of someone else on a project, but this one was Sarah's own effort start to finish. I once asked Andy Simpkins if he had a favorite tune, CD, or performance. He said, without pause, "That's All" with Sass on 'Crazy and Mixed Up." I say thanks to Andy every time I listen to this CD, and it's my second copy of it.

Nice Sarah Vaughan.

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2008

This is the recording that Sarah Vaughan wanted to make on her own with no direction so there's some tasty songs here. This is the worst XRCD recording of the 3 Sarah Vaughan XRCD's available but is still better sounding than most regular CD's. If you like Sarah Vaughan you'll like this XRCD.

One of Sarah's Best!

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2000

I am in love with this album. My first introduction to Sarah Vaughan was through her "songbooks" (Gerswhin, Porter). I loved the lush orchestral backgrounds, but also longed for more informal and/or "jazzy" settings. This album provides just this. Sarah has a small collection of musicians, so you really get to hear and appreciate her unmatched voice and technique. This album is tingling; it is sensational. Sarah scats, delivers ballads, and proves why she is both "sassy" and "divine." Buy it!!!

Stand Out vocalist Shames overproduced, monotonous Contemporaries

Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013

This CD shows depth, texture and nuanced interpretation of songs that display Sarah Vaughn's rich voice and deep understanding of the music she performed. Her producer and gifted musical ensemble convey a wide range of emotion sadly lacking from Mariah Carey, Linda Edder, and scores of today's female vocal diva's.

Sassy chante l'amour et les saisons en toute liberté

Reviewed in France on January 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

En mars 1982, au bout de 40 ans de carrière, Sarah VAUGHN décide d'enregistrer son album le plus personnel pour le petit label PABLO. Elle sollicite à cette occasion le grand pianiste Roland HANNA et le guitariste Joe PASS, ainsi que le bassiste Andy SIMPKINS et le batteur Harold JONES, deux musiciens moins connus...
Cet album commence fort brillamment par une version de « I didn't know what love is » magnifiquement chantée (3 min 59) et un « That's love » (4 min 04) fort enlevé grâce au formidable jeu du pianiste, discrètement soutenu par le guitariste. Joe PASS intervient ensuite plus franchement dès l'intro d'une déroutante, mais fascinante interprétation de « Autumn leaves » (5 min 36) où la chanteuse se lance dans un scat mené à un rythme d'enfer : un des grands moments du disque! Ensuite, l'album reprend une configuration plus conventionnelle avec deux airs magnifiquement chantés à un rythme plus raisonnable : « Love dance » (3 min 23) et « The island » (4 min 30), magnifique morceau dont je connaissais déjà la merveilleuse interprétation donnée par une autre grande chanteuse (Shirley HORN dans Loving You , un album peu connu du public). Puis arrive le moment le plus magique de l'album : une sidérante version de « Seasons » (une composition de Roland HANNA et moment de pure magie où l'on est sous le charme de l'entente quasi-fusionnelle unissant les deux artistes pendant les 5 min 20 du morceau). Après ça, les deux derniers morceaux apparaissent bien fades, malgré leur qualité...
Un album singulier et d'une rare beauté... dont la génèse et l'ambiance sont assez similaires à celle d'un autre album de Shirley HORN , à savoir The Main Ingredient .

A Shade Disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

Sarah Vaughan had a wonderful voice, and I feel that the first priority in her recordings should have been to provide her with an opportunity to display that. Some of the tracks on this album fail to do so. As Sarah had total control, that seems strange.
Tracks:
I didn't Know What Time It Was: Perfect.
That's All: Pitched too high, and much too fast.
Autumn Leaves: Scat singing, which I see as a complete waste of Sarah's talents.
Love Dance: Perfect.
The Island: A shade indulgent at times.
Seasons: Perfect.
In Love In Vain: Perfect.
You Are Too Beautiful: Perfect.
Only 4 stars as most of Sarah's albums are better than this one (and are longer than 33 minutes).

ANOTHER GEM FROM SARAH!

Excellent album, although where the tune got to in "Autumn Leaves" is something of a mystery! The rest, though, is vintage Vaughan and her version of "I didn't know what time it was" is absolutely five stars.
