Sarah Vaughan – Live At Laren 1975 – The Lost Recordings 2LP 180g Vinyl

First publication of this unreleased concert. August 5, 1975: Sarah Vaughan is chosen to open the famous Jazz Festival in Laren, a small village near Amsterdam. She slips in among her musicians, including Bob Magnusson, Jimmy Cobb, Miles Davis’s drummer, and Carl Schroeder, her pianist who has accompanied her for more than 20 years. At 51, not only does the “Divine” use the full range of her voice to sail from the roughest bass to the most scintillating highs, but she smiles, grasps the slightest emotion, seeks communion with each spectator as if he or she were unique, as if she were singing only for him.
