Album Notes & Community Reviews

Focusing heavily on her brilliant integration with modern instrumentalists, 'Hot Jazz' highlights the era-defining vocal agility of Sarah Vaughan. The recordings strip away heavy pop orchestration in favor of loose, swinging accompaniment, allowing her to utilize her massive range and bebop-influenced horn phrasing to profound effect. The compilation is a stellar testament to her status as a supreme improvisational artist.
