At Mister Kelly's

I stood on dog shit while listening to this. It's not Sarah's fault of course. I don't really like standing on dog shit it messes up my nice leopard print trainers. I was less angry than usual cos this woman sings so beautifully. She gets an extra star for that. Sue me.

This kind of vocal-heavy jazz pop isn't my thing, but the album wasn't bad. Her voice is amazing and does a lot of the heavy lifting here. I wish the songs had a little more structure and groove to them - without that, I was getting bored in several tracks. I liked the 3rd and 4th tracks the most

Beautiful voice -8/10

Better than the last live album I had to listen to. Decent as background music, vocals are great. Still kind of boring, I would have lost my mind if I was at Mister Kelly's in 1957 having to rawdog 36 minutes of this.

I think the music sounded pretty good but it’s not my vibe and just isn’t what I was in the mood to listen to. Don’t think I’d listen to this by choice not bc it’s bad but I’d just rather be listening to something else 7/10

It was cool how the production didn’t really help her voice at all — it felt very raw and authentic and she was very talented. However I really didn’t dig when she talked to the audience and said she didn’t know the songs, I get that it makes it feel authentic but that’s some amateur shit and doesn’t belong on such a highly acclaimed album. 4.5/10

7/10 - Very enjoyable. I liked the scatting and the old timey feeling of the songs. I liked her voice a lot which is a nice change of pace from the recent albums

Her voice is nice but the music was kinda boring to me 6/10

Not a bad song on this album (except maybe that last one). Also a great live album; really shows off her voice, a little bit of her personality, and makes you feel like you’re right there in the venue. 9.5/10

A beautiful recording. Vaughan’s voice smooth and full of emotion. You can hear how much she enjoys performing which makes the listening experience even better.

Super raw live album. No frills just her singing. I never heard of her nice voice. Very jazzy - starting scatting and some improvisation. It was fine I’ll never go back to this one again.

Niet een genre waar ik diep in zit, maar ben best gecharmeerd van vocal jazz, en in rokerige barretjes doet die muziek het altijd nog iets beter. Ken niet heel veel dergelijke artiesten, maar de Billie Holidays en Sarah Vaughans van deze wereld staan altijd hoog op mijn lijstje van beste vrouwelijke vocalisten. Echter hoorde ik op dit album maar zelden waar haar monumentale stem toe in staat is, en blijft ze behoorlijk binnen de lijntjes. Ik prefereer jazz waarin de instrumenten wat meer ruimte krijgen, en waar wat meer verrassing in zit, maar desalniettemin was dit een aangename sessie. Ik denk wel dat hij wat meer voor me had gedaan in 50s Chicago. 6/10 Highlight: Sarah Vaughan - Just One Of Those Things

Nog nooit van Sarah Vaughan gehoord maar op zich fijn albumpje voor op de maandagochtend. Zo ontdek je nog 'ns wat. Mooie opname. Helemaal het gevoel zelf in dat zaaltje van Mister Kelly's te zitten in de jaren '50. Moet een bijzondere plek geweest zijn. Vaughan heeft een fijne jazz-stem, maar de nummertjes zijn wel beetje hetzelfde. En bij vocal-jazz mis ik ook wel de piano-solo's en epische drumsessies die jazz zo kenmerken. Anyway, leuk om eens geluisterd te hebben. Daar blijft het denk ik wel bij. Highlights: Thou Swell Honeysuckle Rose (wel een piano-solotje!)

It was nice something to put in the background but not very stand out sing along stuff

Makes me want a martini

It has jazz notes and I like it

Great background music while working.

Amazing performance. Had to immediately find a vinyl copy.

I like her voice - and this great live performance, too

Very sensual album. All expected. Still great. Class.

Loved it

Favourite Song: Be Anything But Darling Be Mine I actually tried to have this as some calm background music while I read, but it kept catching my attention and I don't think I got through more than 2 pages. A really wonderful, heavenly voice.

Beautiful voice, nice listen

Klare ausdrucksvolle Stimme unterstützt mit Piano und gezupften Bass in Richtung Blues oder Jazz. Es ist nicht mein Stil, obwohl die Version von „Just a Gigolo“sehr interessant und auch hörenswert ist.

She shook her voice too much which sucks because she has a beautiful voice.

Eh. Scratchy

Good bluesy album

Wow her voice was amazing. But not my music really

Solid, old school soft jazz. An easy album to listen to and enjoy. This one didn't stand out to me that other similar albums have but it was still a solid album.

Timeless voice and great backing music. I felt like I was daydreaming on a sunny day.

Very much enjoyed the album and song choices.

Had a hangover this morning so I was glad it was this and not Napalm Death today. Never really listened to Sarah Vaughan, and I'm unfamiliar with much of these songs, unlike the stuff you'd find on similar records from Ella or Billie etc. Not really sure why she isn't the household name at the same level as those two as her voice certainly compares. Very different to the Louis Prima Just a Gigolo! But delicious, delivered like this. The voice particularly incredible in this take. Listened to the original 9 songs. Might check the reissue with other stuff on another day but more likely to go to studio stuff. Live gives and takes here, a long intro not separated from the first song track, 2 songs messed up, one in more entertaining way than the other. The general atmosphere is excellent. Zippedy doo dah

Haven’t heard of her but very reminiscent of Ella, hell the last song plays into the fact that she’ll sing like her. Great voice on a live track, mild audience is always a plus for these recordings. 3.5

Really liked this. I have a soft spot for live albums.

For its time it’s recorded superbly. You can hardly tell it’s live. For 57 this is unbelievable. Great writing and singing and does the job of anachronistic time travel

Absolutely lovely. This is what a live album should be; an experience unbroken.

smooth, groovy, accessible jazz. well done, fun live album

While I've certainly heard her songs, this is my first time listening to a Sarah Vaughan album, and let me tell you it was a revelation. I usually am not a fan of live recordings, but this might be the exception. At the beginning of the record, the host explains to the audience that she'll be using lyric sheets. Well she must have lost some of them, because she frequently doesn't have the words and she doesn't need them either. These moments when you hear her just go off on a riff are jaw-dropping. The sound of the recording is studio-quality, but you get to hear the spontaneous, playful side of her as well. I don't know why anyone else bothers singing after hearing this. The piano by Jimmy Jones is just gorgeous.

Not my typical style preference, but didn't mind it.

Lovely stuff. Sublime voice.

Chill background jazz - would love it on vinyl!

not my personal favorite and i probably wouldn’t ever listen to it again but she had a beautiful voice

I love and respect Ella and Billie. But Sarah is *my* jazz vocalist. She is perfect and divine. 4.5/5

Beautiful voiced jazz singer. 5/5

I mean, it's nice Jazz. But it's a bit too slow for me... 3/5

A nice listen but probably won't revisit, just because it's not a style of music that attracts me. Her voice is beautifully controlled and matches the jazz accompaniment perfectly. Great on this snowy day (1/16). Reminds me of some of the music my Grandma would have playing in the background while working around the house while my sisters and I spent our summers at her house.

Excellent album. There's a reason she was called the Devine One. Her vocal jazz and her range are outstanding.

She's quite good. That's all I have to say.

Just a charming, sleepy little jazz record. Nothing crazy.

All I can think about is that this song was made for games like fallout and bioshock. Not bad, singer has a good voice. Very chill. I wish I was at a speakeasy smokin a cigar and enjoying some alcohol to truly experience this live albulm.

Don't usually like live albums, but this was charming, intimate and funny.

Great voice

Really good dinnerusic or a sexy date!

I don't even care if it is generic or monotonous, or if it is a freaking live album. I could listen to this all day and not be bored of it. What a voice!

I'd never been exposed to her work, but loved it, and especially for background while I am working. Sets a fantastic mood.

This is a solid collection of standards. Ms. Vaughan's voice is powerful and lovely. The live setting gives it a looser more playful feel than a formal recording. Any fan if Nina Simone or Billy Holiday would enjoy it.

This lady can hold a note, vocal command is on-point and not in your face, very sleepy jazz, low-ceiling club jazz with wonderful live feel, really goes off on the last song

intimate and soulful

Good listen

Ah, jazz from the 50's and female singers - nothing experimental about that, so I like this kind of jazz :)

Nice voice, not for me.

Good for what it is, but not for me

Love love love this album! What a beautiful and crisp voice! Her runs are impeccable!

Wonderful, warm vibe. Sarah has a lovely voice, I am enjoying it a lot. The interaction with the crowd is very endearing and the joking lyrics to some of the songs add a lot of character to the album.

No. 92/1001 September In The Rain 3/5 Willow Weep For Me 3/5 Just One Of Those Things 4/5 Be Anything But Darling Be Me 3/5 Thou Swell 3/5 Stairway To The Stars 3/5 Honeysuckle Rose 3/5 Just A Gigolo 2/5 How High The Moon 2/5 Average: 2,89 I didn't really like what she was doing with her voice that much. And that's the whole pull for this record.

Wonderful album

Perfection. Vaughan is in her element live. She sparkles. Five huge stars.

live recording is nice

not my music

The way it was recorded really makes me feel like I was there at Mister Kelly's in 1957. Very enjoyable to listen to.

Pretty. The live performance added to the ambiance perfectly. A little on the boring side.

Too much vibrato in the voice. Enjoyed the band.

Pleasant enough

the parts when she's improvising lyrics about how she doesn't know the words to the song are very charming It's all good, dunno if there's any other standouts. May not revist to see but will think about it. music: appreciated. (⌐□_□)

Nothing I don’t like here just not something I love either. Crowd noise adds a lot

Good vocals and good jazz.

Fantastic voice, great jazz. One of those things and honeysuckle are phenomenal. Solid length too

Not bad for a live album, but it has all that chitchat and whatnot that attempts to capture the feeling of being there in person, and only serves to reinforce that you're not there in person. "Thou Swell" is a nice track, though, in its mixing of elevated vocabulary with playfully childish syntax. Otherwise, this is perfectly fine, but unexceptional.

The incomparable Sarah Vaughan. No one can sing like her though many have tried. Love the selection of classics.

Super - I love it!

- i looked up sarah for fun even though i never look up these artists and eventually found out her grandson is followed by one of my favourite hockey players. so everything is fun and connected in a way

Oddly this sounds still relevant, considering it's from seventy years ago. Interesting album.

Didn't know her before, nice and good music

An unsurprising starlet recorded candidly

hi september in the rain- i love her voice. i like the bass and keys. smile. 6 or 7 willow weep for me- oh shes adorable. um i enjoy it 5 or 6. i dont have a lot to say. just one of those things- a little more groove. 7 be anything but darling but be mine- i think its cute and sweet. 7 or 8 thou swell- this is cute too. 7 or 8 stairway to the stars- a little too slow for me but its nice. 6 honeysuckle rose- i like that bass. its cute 6 or 7 just a gigolo- too slow for me. not my favorite version but it is nice i like how she says "you" like shes observing this person. 5 how high the moon- oh shes so cute. i love her improv. didnt they say she had a lyric sheet? doesnt matter she ate. 7

How do you not like jazz? I feel like Seb from La La Land right now

Nice n chill overall. Thought the MC intro was interesting, really stood as a timestamp to the history of live album recording. Even when she didn't know the lyrics, she just kept on going; words, scatting or otherwise.

-omg another live album!!!!! -never heard of sarah vaughn but im very excited -okay vocals POP OFF!!!!!! -i love the live albums because its very authentic and i like hearing the artists talk -she genuinely has such a beautiful voice -and a GREAT band behind her -i can just imagine myself there sitting and listening and watching -UGH the scatting i love it -okay RANGE! -loved this live album its a four from me

Beautiful voice. I needed to be in the mood for this album. It's good to study or to relax to. I'd love to hear it live.

Sometimes music is too minimalistic but voice is great all the time.

Excellent disque ! Une réelle ambiance de club de jazz des années 1950. Un des meilleurs disques de jazz vocal.

A very Sunday album. Never heard any of Sarah Vaughan before and it was a treat and hearing a musician having fun with her band and crowd is a delight. Live albums aren’t a go to normally but this was a rare gem.

Some old timey live jazz album. Not bad but not it

Big voice but smooth jazz vocals are not my thing

Nicht meins

What a voice. I forgot it was live a couple times.

Good sound, but music’s to slow!

Usually listening to metal / metalcore and other styles that most people would categorize as noise. I liked this album … I don’t pretend I know much about Jazz… but this album was very nice to listen to! I will put it on a playlist for times when “normal” people will visit me

Excellent singing, excellent arrangements, really stellar instrumentalist performances Also this sounds PHENOMENAL for a live record from 1957 - whoever engineered this thing is a genius Unfortunately it’s mixed a bit weird and the vocals are too much front-and-centre and the instrumentation is difficult to really hear everything that’s going on. If I really really loved jazz vocals this would maybe get a higher rating. Obviously this is a classic performance though and a rea achievement in love production.

Soft och skön. Ganska bra trots att det är live och jazz.

Great voice overlaying smooth jazz that makes for a relaxing evening. That's all there is to it. Songs aren't particularly noteworthy. Standard music and lyrics. Recording pretty good, though there are some hiccups here and there for being a live recording.

This is Beautiful

Such a warm splendid voice she has, and the band is just super chill, absolutely nailing the vibe. It was weird that they included the preamble announcement to the crowd, but I actually found that it added some anticipation, and put me in the room. Her improvisational joke at the end of "Willow" doubled down on that feeling - like we're at the concert and get to be in on the mishaps too. The one song I question is "How High the Moon" - she seems to sort of cover Ella's version, which is a version where she also doesn't seem to know the lyrics. It ends up being a weaker end to the album. Really enjoyed this though, her voice is so incredible.

Do you like vibrato?

Good singer of course, but got a bit old after a while around the "shabba-dobie-dobie-doo" time. Music to wrap Christmas presents to.

Her voice sounds so familiar, but I can't pinpoint where I have heard it. Might be featured on a different song I know. Probably was in a fallout game. She has got a great voice. Hate live albums, but somehow the two live Jazz albums from this list have been good enough for me to not even notice they were live albums. If it weren't for the first track and the song names I would not have known this was a live album.

Pleasant but not overly memorable.

It's actually great, and I'm not a live album person. Because it leaves in the mistakes, and the Sarah Vaughan loves the errors and the chance to improvise and have fun as much as the performing itself. Bot a fun wit and some gorgeous old fashioned jazz.

*sips negroni* mmmmmm *lights cigarette* eooff😶ahhhhhhh😮‍💨*sips negroni*

I struggle with jazz – I couldn’t actually get through this. She;s clearly a great singer – but the songs are dull.

Phenomenal jazz album.

Meh. All the songs sounded the same. I don’t think an album of live covers belongs on this list

Beautiful voice and different speed compared to nowadays rat race. Perfect music to slow down and de-stress.

Noticed some bjork moments. This was cool

I'm more of a modern jazz Guy but this is exceptionally well done

Nice, but not really my thing. Maybe on a different day I'd rate higher...

Too much Jazz

Całkiem przyjemne. Lepsze niż ten poprzedni live jazz. 4/5

God I want to go to a cool jazz bar

Lovely, intimate recording. Another one for this list of things that I’d love to listen to on vinyl

primeiro álbum sendo de jazz, certamente uma maneira inusitada de começar, visto que que esse é aproximadamente 1% do meu repertório diário. álbum elegante e aconchegante. a voz e performance da artista são cativantes.

If you like jazz this is a great album. The recording quality is immaculate for a live album from the 1958. It’s fun to hear the banter with the audience between the songs. Has a very authentic performance element to it, from accidental mic bumps, to the audience speaking to the band.

V cool! Amazing singing. I knew of Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, but never Sarah Vaughn. This music helped get me through 2 weeks of graveyard shifts in the lab, and I'm eternally grateful for that.

Cool vibe, but not my thing.

Beautiful. I have little patience for 99% of jazz vocalists, but Sarah Vaughan is the top 0.01% alongside Fitzgerald and Holliday. I’ve known the name, surprised I haven’t heard more of her music before this.

I did not like this album, but it is mainly due to my disinterest in jazz music. I will give Sarah Vaughan her credit though. Her voice is phenomenal and I would definitely recommend this album to fans of the genre. Also, it was humbling to hear her errors when performing live. Must have been amazing to hear in person! Favorite Song(s): N/A

Great for Christmas time. So fun to hear everyone laughing and having fun in the audience. Never heard of Sarah Vaughan before but she’s got a lovely voice and sense of humour when she sang “Ella Fitzgerald sings this song” it rang from one ear to the other a bunch of times don’t know why but felt weird. I was looking up outfit inspiration for Conlan’s wedding while listening to this so hit me up what you guys are gonna wear and we can discuss -B

Now this was fire. Loved that it was a live album. How high the moon, love this version of it. Her little improv was awesome

Very nostalgic sounding. It’s interesting that her face isn’t on the cover. Her charisma shone through the small chatting between songs even the scatting. Her humming voice during “Be Anything but Darling Be Mine” I mistook for a clarinet.

felt like time travel to 1957

Shabooby. Not sure what Sarah I was expecting, but for some reason I was expecting folk. I guess Sarah is not a very jazz name.

Qué interesante y particular

Loved the atmosphere! How High The Moon made me laugh.

it's okay, I wish there was more of the jazz club atmosphere, more talking and people noises

Never heard this one before. Streamed it on Spotify. Vocal jazz live album. An intimate laid back performance with a lower fidelity recording quality to it. I love the atmosphere this one creates. It really transports you to a small, smokey lounge. There is even the occasional background and ambient crowd noise picked up in the recording other than just moments of applause. The performance here really captures your attention as you feel she is singing to you personally. I would definitely love to listen to this one again and may look to find a copy on vinyl although it looks like this version only has the first half of this 70+ minute performance.

Awful. Painful to listen to.

First listen Saved 6/9 Top track: Just One Of Those Things

Incredible voice.

Nope, this ain't for me. Might as well stay at Mister Kelly's cuz I ain't lettin' you in.

Surprisingly good

Despite liking the genre, this album didn't resonate with me.

mágico

I really like live albums. Cool that this one captures some imperfections too - makes it feel a bit like you are there in the room. I love how she sings “we tried our best” on How High the Moon after forgetting the lyrics. Favorite tracks are Be Anything but Darling Be Mine and Honeysuckle Rose. I love her phrasing and vibrato. Cool piano solo on Just a Gigolo.

Surprised to see this on here! Shes such a great vocalist and these are great tunes. Kind of hard to hear the band but sounds pretty good for a 50’s live record. Funny how they mention she’s reading lyrics in the beginning and then she forgets all the words 😂

Amazing.

Easy listening, good jazz - great for a cocktail party. But, it's another live performance of collected songs, not a straight album. -1

ass. i hate jazz

sarah vaughan is the love of my life nuff said

All Day. Love this music, love this era, love jazz standards sung so happily and sweetly. So satisfying and easy to listen to anytime but especially at Christmastime for some reason.

I think it's impossible to listen to something from the 50s in 2023 that doesn't sound at least a bit outdated. I appreciate the effort of the book author to keep this kind of classical stuff on the list, but it's pretty hard to find the real hidden gems among the albums from that time.

How many more times am I going to have to listen to “Just a Gigolo” because of this list? I’m at two currently, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened more than once.

chill.

Jazz to not my cup of tea, ale doceniam

Zmęczyło mnie

4/5, but a 5/5 background live jazz album

It's jazz live recording... then at least 4

Amazing voice. Sounds great. Recorded live and the set list isn't well designed or special.

way too old school for my taste.... elevator / hotel lobby / background music... 1 star

Sweet jazz album. Enjoyed a few songs

Exactly what you would like to hear at a smoky, dimly lit jazz lounge, late at night. Three stars for her voice alone, but the songs aren't much.

Great sound

I’d never heard of Sarah Vaughan but enjoyed this album. Just a real solid, soulful, jazz sound. It was an enjoyable listen on a rainy afternoon.

She's is a goddess!!!! an incredible woman!!!! Great listen, completely soulful and engaging... cooking company!

I wish I could go see shows like this at jazz clubs. What a voice. What a performance.

Felt like I was sitting at a little table in the venue. Soothing, charismatic, short and sweet. Incredible voice

Sarah Vaughan is known for having a beautiful voice and being therefore one of the icons of 50's Vocal Jazz. This live album features some of her distinct songs but and that is I think the best part about this album, it is fun. There are some accidents happening: a bass falls over, the band plays too long, Sarah forgets the text... but that makes this feel human. It is incredibly fun and easy to listen to. fav: willow weep for me, September in the rain, how high the moon least fav: thou swell Rating: decent to strong 6

Jazz bien jazz, está bueno. Muy buena voz.

Not my style but musically talented

- Not my style of music, but the jazz is simple yet elegant - Favorite tracks: Honeysuckle Rose, Just One of Those Things - Cool to hear how she impersonates Ella Fitzgerald in How High the Moon

hate jazz

Love it, classic vibe. Live recording is also dope

Never heard of her before but will definitely be listening to more of her

Really not for me

Not my cup of tea but can appreciate it

Nice but forgettable

so much character on this one

In de auto is dit geen aanrader, Nogmaals luisteren als je thuis bent. Goede Vleterman erbij en genieten maar!

Deed me denken aan het live album van Johnny cash in Folsom prison. Chill voor een zondag ochtend met een kop koffie turend naar buiten terwijl het kneiter hard regent.

Heerlijk met dit weer! Nog beter met een sigaar. Album 2x geluisterd zonder dat het verveelde

Ja dit is het. Wat een stembereik, sfeer, muzikaliteit. Meestal doen live albums niet zo veel voor me maar ik had het gevoel dat ik erbij was en maakte het speels. Ik ben verliefd.

Ik snap de live opnames maar voor mij voegde het niet veel toe (alright na een 2e keer luisteren toch wel grappig dat het lijkt alsof je er een soort van bij bent) I'm a scatman aan het einde was wel goeie

Ei mun pala kakkua

Mukava oli kuunnella, vaikkei ehkä sen hetken tunnelmaan täysin istunutkaan. En lähtis kuitenkaan hirveesti hehkuttamaan

I felt like I needed to get much more dressed up to listen to this. And drink a martini. It was a tight album. Vocals were amazing.

Nuh uh

Sounded nice, but didn't grab me.

While jazz is not my favorite, her voice is undeniably gorgeous.

Nice enough laid back jazz

Soulful old jazz, live in a club. Feels like it transports me back to another era.

Wonderful little album. I am a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald but had never listed to Sarah Vaughan. Her voice is incredible and her charm is evident throughout this live album. Great stuff.

4.5

I mean come on… It’s like this was made for me to like. Just listening to the first song this might be a 5 for me

Trèèèès smooth

Great recording, I love the vibe of live jazz. These albums capture something truly special.

It wasn't objectionable, but it never really kept me engaged, and I tried listening a couple of times.

Classic Soul Dig the recording

De esta lista, este álbum de Sarah Vaughan debe ser uno de los más imprescindibles. El antiguo registro en vivo es una pieza que nos transporta a los '50 y al apogeo del Jazz cantado, en un viaje casi mágico guiado por una poderosa y adictiva voz. Un imprescindible de la música en general.

Outstanding

Not my style but was very enjoyable

Good. 3.5

Should listen again. Great evening music

Quite mesmerising, like opening a time-capsule. The Album is a live-recording from the 50's, you get the experience Sarah Vaughan improvising and interacting with the audience, laughing, all probably long dead. Quite the experience. And her voice is just.. to fall in love with.

Beautiful voice

aaaaaaaaaaaa

The live audience is cool to listen to. I enjoy the energy it brings.

1/5 - Never listening again 2/5 - Its ok, but not for me 3/5 - Will listen again 4/5 - I love it 5/5 - Going in my playlist "September in the Rain" 3/5 "Willow Weep for Me" 2/5 "Just One of Those Things" 2/5 "Be Anything (But Be Mine)" 2/5 "Thou Swell" 1/5 "Stairway to the Stars" 3/5 "Honeysuckle Rose" 2/5 "Just a Gigolo" 2/5 "How High the Moon" 1/5 "I dont know the words of this song but im going to sing it anyway." Not for me, dont like her voice. Album: 2/5

I have not heard a lot of Sarah Vaughan. This live album is exceptional, Sarah has such a pure voice. The songs she sings must have been the top songs of the day, most have become classics. My favourites were September In The Rain, Just A Gigolo and It's Got To Be Love. Well worth lots more listening.

Livealbum

Voice is extraordinary, mellow earth angel vibes, loved it

Would be good background music at home. Not usually my thing. Most of the songs sounded similar. Lounge act kind of music.

Rainy day jazz

Decent but not my bag

Good lady crooning, not common in the genre, outstanding voice but not enough interesting music around her to truly stand out.

This was a really smooth, pleasant listen. Wonderful dinner/cocktail party music, but not a whole lot more than that. I did like the intro at the start, did help set the scene, but the music didn't really grab me. Her voice is delightful though. 3/5.

Lekkere natte herfst of koude wintermuziek

This is nice, but feels messy in some parts. It’s such a mood and I enjoyed it, but I understand why it wouldn’t be for everyone. 4/5

Gentle jazz, has been a pleasure listening

No expectations going in. Very smooth jazz and an easy listen. Best song was track 3

Loved it. Had never heard her before. Will certainly be a big fan moving forward.

Wow, this is great and I'm bummed I've never heard of Sarah before. Exactly the type of thing that I want to listen to on certain days and she has an infectious voice and personality in this record. A new fan for sure.

Great album, I dig it.

That voice is amazing, i like jazz more that i thought

Smooth but boring

Vibes are immaculate, very cool how this album was recorded live Girl boss icon jazz queen stan ✨

Cozy jazz club vibes

Pretty good live album. Length was good for a one sitting listen

Live buff

P good vocals

Points for going full Jack Black there at the end

Terribly boring, bad singing 1/10

Very good. Classy tunes. Love the fact it was recorded live. Really charming

Превосходно

I can tell already she has one of my favorite singing voices. Billie Holiday has a more angelic soprano and Nina Simone has more gritty character but Sarah Vaughan sounds like the perfect representation of a grade A jazz voice. It sounds as though you are in a very intimate, classic jazz bar. I imagine it just finished raining in the city. I recall the “intro spot” club in tokyo. The live also elevates the listening experience. It's a little long so I was less in it but Jazz feels that way to me sometimes even in the live setting. It sets a mood and pulls you in and gently releases you out from time to time in your own thoughts. Good record and one of my new favorite voices.

All these female jazz singers just leave me spellbound. While Vaughan’s style is not as distinctive as some others, her voice sounds like a true instrument to me. Her range is astonishing, the vibrato used to great effect. I loved it.

Strong vocal jazz album—Vaughan is quite impressive, although I left feeling like I hadn't heard her very best. The improvisation in How High the Moon was funny, but didn't seem to fit the tenor of the rest of the album. Quite enjoyable overall, 7/10. Favorite Track: Willow Weep for Me

I’ve never even heard of her, but she sounds lovely. I’m so glad this journey started with jazz. She’s also so funny. I’m really enjoying the fact that it’s live.

Very beautiful morning coffee and beach walk music 😋

Slow 60s jazz. Songs about love. Short and takes a little to get going, but ends well.

Beautiful voice. I prefer things that are a bit more music forward. And definitely with more of a beat. This is sweet background, but it’s not much more than that for me.

I listened before bed and admit I fell asleep, but I enjoyed it prior to that and I did fall asleep. That’s a win.

gorgeous fun album. gives fallout. loving it

Sarah’s voice. The musical vibe front to back. The live setting ambiance. A surprising masterpiece.

73 minutes long jazz album. And it's live. Day instantly ruined. This was about as interesting as not listening to any music at all. 1/5 because I'm feeling extra devious today. Very fitting that I'd get this demonic piece of audio as my 666th album.

Great singing voice. Makes nice background music. I'm not a jazz fan but this is fun in small doses.

I can understand why this album would be celebrated. Sarah Vaughan has an accomplished voice. It was nice mood music. I can imagine playing it in the background over a candlelight dinner with a lover. But it’s not my thing.

Not my favorite style of jazz. She has an amazing voice and I wasn't familiar with her before this album came up, which I suppose is what I want from this 1001 albums list.

This was a great, pleasant listen! Live recording, she is funny, personable, with a beautiful voice. Left a more positive impression than last R&B/soul album (Lady in Satin, I need to figure out what genre this is). 4/5.

The first half was great, became less enjoyable throughout and the yodelling in the last song killed me. A nice introduction to the style but wouldn’t listen to the album again.

Ugh I wish I was more of Jazz girlie. Couldn't really get into this. Kinda cool that it was a live performance though!

Excellent record, really brought to life by the nature of it being a live recording. The extended version is probably a touch too long, but the original track listing is a tight selection that really does place you in a 1950s jazz club.

-september in the rain, be anything darling but be mine, honeysuckle rose standouts -voice like butter (runs in stairway to the stars to die for) but songs a little samey, i guess that's to be expected for a live lpungey album like this - lovely easy listening, very intimate feel -how high the moon put a real smile on my face 3.5/5

Ein Livealbum mit einigen (ich vermute) Jazzstandarts. Gute Musiker und gute Sängerin. Ich glaube man kriegt genau das, was man erwartet.

Wonderful voice and the band is on it but I really didn’t vibe with this album. It all started to sound the same and I’m sorry to say that I might be a heathen but I just could not finish it.

A fine jazz album, would be fantastic for a get-together, a dinner party, something smooth in the background. Better as a whole, added 2 songs to 1001 Playlist.....1957 is damned impressive

De esta lista, este álbum de Sarah Vaughn debe ser uno de los más imprescindibles. El antiguo registro en vivo es una pieza que nos transporta a los '50 y al apogeo del Jazz cantado, en un viaje casi mágico guiado por una poderosa y adictiva voz. Un imprescindible de la música en general.

My fall vibe

Jazzy! I enjoyed her improvisation of the lyrics. Music was nice too.

Really loved her voice and interaction with the audience. A fantastic live album. Jazz just isn't my thing .

Was man von einer Jazzsängerin der 50er erwarten würde. Gute Stimme, gute Band - aber nicht meine Musik.

I’m a fan of some jazz, but this wasn’t my cup of tea.

Im not super well versed in vocal jazz, but Sarah Vaughan is undeniable. I’m not really sure why this particular album is the one selected as her entry on this list. It’s very cozy and intimate, but it doesn’t feel like an essential album. I gotta imagine there’s another one that does her more justice.

It's ok, not my style of music. Kind of blended all together in my mind. Some songs were better than others but cant tell which ones

Cozy! Chill. Cool.

Best description for this is smooth and comfortable. I love the overall presentation, and you feel like you're in a small club listening to her great voice.

Feels straight out of a film noir - can practically smell the smoke and booze of Mister Kelly's. Musically it's not my cup of tea though

Great album. One of my favorites.

super clean recording. very nice set.

liked this record. Music i would dance with my girflfriend to in the kitchen at 2am

didn't really like it, didn't really hate it. Just not my style of album.

One of the most entertaining live albums we've gotten. One because the music is pretty and entertaining and energetic. But also, because it showcases what can be FUN about live albums. On track 2 she drops the mic and on track 9 she forgets pretty much the entire song. That shit is COOL and human and reminds us why live albums have any appeal at all. it connects us to the artist

Loved this album, really reminded my of Ella Fitzgerald. My kind of vibe 4/5

Sympathisch

An intimate recording with a sweet and magnificent voice.

Not my normal cup of tea, but this was delightful.

Great voice, don’t love jazz but do love getting to know new artists from genres that I don’t typically listen to.

Jazz, beautiful voice, awesome to hear how they improvised throughout the live album.

A beautiful voice, and a great live album. I enjoyed the intimacy of the environment, and loved how Sarah Vaughan was clearly a little nervous but still just flawlessly improvising.

V peaceful

Enjoyed but Spotify recording wasn’t great

Good, but personally not super “jazzed” about that genre 😝

I assume this was noteworthy because of some live recording techniques.

A Werther's Original for the ears.

Nice enough voice, though can't figure out why she should need lyric sheet. The songs weren't complicated. The last one was apparently scat, but I didn't think it that bad. Not for me though, solid 2.

Nope

Pleasant enough, a nice midnight dinner party wind down album. As said before I don't have dinner parties and if I did it wouldn't go on that late nowadays, so probably won't listen to it ever again. The most interesting part was where something fell over (a band member?), which generated a fit of laughter from the audience and from the Vaughan lady too. Just a middle of the road 1

great voice, not my thing though...

I’m not really in this lounge jazz but I thought it was well done for what it was.

Such an interesting easy listen. Not my sort of thing usually, but real chill. 4*

I would enjoy this as live background music while out for dinner and/or drinks but would not seek it out on my own.

Definitely a vibe, but the songs are very samey, so the whole album just sorta blurs together.

Nothing noteworthy here. I can appreciate some soft jazz, but all of these tracks just sounded way too "samey." Just her singing in the same style over the same soft jazz on loop. Nothing wrong with it though, just not something that grabbed my attention or that I will ever come back to. Something I did find interesting was that this artist has a discography of nearly 100 albums over her career! Absolutely insane!

remarkable

Yeah that’s an excellent album. Her voice is so warm and rich yet there’s also these great moments where it gets sharp and brassy. Her voice is very instrument-like in that way, adjusting and curving around notes in so many interesting ways. Really enjoyed it. Best song: How High the Moon

Pretty flawless. I thought the music was a touch too subdued (though obviously it is there to frame the voice, and it could be the recording/mixing).

So for my first non-rock album I have done for this project, At Mister Kelly's was a pretty good start for me to start branching out into other genres of music. Sarah's voice was very good and the audio quality was so good that if you were to take out the things that made it a live show, you could genuinely trick me into believing that this album was recorded in a studio. The songs did kinda blend together but other than that, This album was still really solid Best Song: Just One Of Those Things Worst Song: Thou Swell

Fantastic little album. Usually not a fan of live recordings but this one is just right

That voice!

Lovely live recording

Feels intimate and personal. A good live recording

Honestly it was a great listen
