At Mister Kelly's

There are so many things about this that i hate. It’s jazz, it’s scatting, it’s repetitive, it’s pretty bland and I feel like she is completely underprepared. On the plus side, her voice is great and the glissandos she can produce with her vocals are awesome. Not for me.

Good voice, but just not my vibe

I loved what I listened too but the gaps in the recording grated on my ears so much that I couldn't finish. I'm a new Sarah Vaughan fan though.

För gammalt

Talented singer performing live with talented musicians, which is entirely what makes some people interested in music in the first place. Not me - I'm interested in the aureur, the creator, the entire process of translating an idea from someone's head to a piece of recorded music. Sweet voice, but the vibrato rapidly began to irritate me. Not an album I would listen to again. Huge respect, but, as I said, not what I listen to music for.

I tried to care but I just can't

yuck soft jazz

Not my piece of pie. Borring.

Fucking jazz again ...

The only thing worse than Jazz is Jazz with an annoying '50/'60s singer in it.

Musically uninteresting but fun

I have heard the name, and a song or two over the years, but I've never heard a full album. And I likely never will again. I didn't find the music, her voice, the songs or the vibe worthy of a future listen. Wow, was it just me or did every one of those songs sound damn near the same as the one before it? It might have been one 35 minute song with short breaks. I was looking forward to her take on "Just A Gigolo" but I think I fell asleep a minute in. If this was a top album in 1957 I'm super glad I wasn't around to endure what was not making the charts. Admittedly, this is not my kind of music but her vocals just didn't cut it, it was so cruiseshipesque. I can't even give this a second star, it's better than a few of the shit-grunge era noise albums I've suffered thru on this T1001 journey but not by much.

easy listening jazz. no thanks. 1/5

Dreadful

Fell asleep. Not my thang!

Low quality live.

More Jazz, This album was not for me at all.

This type of smooth lounge jazz clearly isn't my thing. Take away the instruments and it wouldn't really make too much of a difference as it all blends into one. 'September in the Rain' and 'Just One of Those Things' are highlights purely because they're upbeat and bouncy as opposed to much of the albums slow jazz tunes. It's not bad music, but it's really not my cup of tea. Sarah Vaughan has a really lovely voice, but it's not enough to carry this to anything more than one star. It's too similar sounding throughout in a sub genre of music that probably already sounds very similar as it is.

started off neutral but then i started really hating this by the middle nonsensical lyrics, average vocals with off-key medioce moments, boring instrumentals entire album sounds like a down-tempo vibrato exercise. fucking boring! NNN

What absolute trash. Live albums just shouldn't exist

Yes, I listened to the entire album and I don't really know why. The music is relentlessly boring. I'm really wondering if I'm going to be 'sung' to death. It seems absolutely impossible to spend such a lovely evening. The whole set seems to have no real highlights. With a little alcohol and an equally bored accompaniment, I would definitely have fallen asleep. Zero points, I can't even give a point for the album cover, it's just as uninspired. "at Mister Kelly's" wow, does anyone really care, or are there really good drinks there? Let's wash our ears out and hope for the next album.

Eugh a live album Clearly good to an extent. I didn't like it

Septembers in the Rain - 3/5 Willow Weep For Me - 2/5 Just one of those things - 2.5/5 Be Anything - 2.5/5 Thou Sell - 1.5/5 Stairway to The Stars - 1.5/2 Honeysuckle Rose - 2/5 - Couldn't be arsed to finish - mid album repetitive as fuck Overall - Mid/5

I really enjoyed it. But there are too many amazing2 star albums. this has to be a 1. But it's good.

I love seeing live music, I hate listening to recorded live music. The singer is proficient I guess but nothing about her singing seemed interesting to me. Maybe just a terrible song selection. Not sure why this is listed as a great album.

Jazz, dont like it.

Sarah Vaughan en haar triootje. Leuk voor haar, maar niet voor ons. Het is allemaal maar gekunstel met de stem, expres hoger en lager zingen, alleen maar om te laten zien wat je allemaal kan. Bij het tweede nummer gaat er al iets fout blijkbaar, maar laat ze even merken hoe goed ze wel niet kan improviseren. Jacques Brel probeert nog gepassioneerd een verhaal te vertellen, maar dit is puur vocaal exhibitionisme zonder enige inhoud. Ze kan heus wel zingen hoor, maar ik zat vanaf het eerste nummer eigenlijk al te wachten totdat dit voorbij was. En dan moet je nog meer dan een uur. Maar net als met Joni, zal ik dit afluisteren tot de laatste snik, of vocale uithaal in dit geval, ook al is het op laag volume. Maar man man man, wat is dit verschrikkelijk.

Not my thing at all.

“Jazz hands”

Great voice but not my thing

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

Nicht meins

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

Awful. Painful to listen to.

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

ass. i hate jazz

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

hate jazz

aaaaaaaaaaaa

Livealbum

Terribly boring, bad singing 1/10

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.

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

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

ugh couldn't even get through half the album. i just found it really dreary and of it's time. i do appreciate that she has incredible voice control

Hated this.

Not feeling it; she has a nice voice though. The audio quality is so clear for a recording in 1957. I have to wonder if my grandparents or their parents listened to this record? I will never know.

I would rather hammer rusty nails into my bollocks than listen to that again.

Did my tits in, not for me

Emy Wijnhuis heeft hetzelfde irritante gejengel in haar zang, maar bij haar kan het net hebben. Sarah's zang daarentegen stoort me echt en ik kon er dus ook helemaal niets mee.

The recording is full of hiss and mics peaking. ruins the best parts of the songs Nothing majorly wrong with the album, jazz just doesnt really hit the spot either feels like a novel genre used for Christmas albums. TLDR Great vocals, feels overly dated to have much impact though but recording poopoo

B-O-R-I-N-G

Live albums suck

Im sure this album was revolutionary but it doesnt make it good. And I still have no clue why they keep including live album on this list. Jazz should never be sung imo

Not exactly my style so I wasn't a huge fan of it. The album was from 1957 so pretty old jazz. I did however sort of enjoy September in the rain but this wouldn’t be an album I listen to again. Sarah’s voice however is very nice x

Boring

Jazz, niet mijn ding. Dus na 2 nummers ben ik afgehaakt. De echte liefhebber zal het vast mooi vinden, want ze heeft een mooie stem.

Great voice, just not my cup of tea and I really hate live albums

Very annoying

Jangled my nerves.

It's fine. The lady can sing but are there not 101 of these albums? What makes this special enough to be on the list? Cover art 3/5

Got a couple of songs in and got very bored. Jumped around the tracklist and it's just more of the same. I get why some people would dig it, and he's got a great voice, but definitely not for me.

I know I should like this but 8 didn't sorry Sarah!

Couldn't get into it.

Too old for my ears

Not my thing

nah not for me

nah, not for me. Lasted 8 songs. It's nice like, but just boring.
