Sarah Vaughan....Best Performances and Recordings

Hey great suggestions...love this place! Tablejockey--not sure what "gizmo" you are referring to but my table is a "one off" collaboration with Mat and Harry that has some unique features. The 3D-10 gimbaled arm is just coming online--mine is from the first production run. I had a unipivot 3D-10 and there are very good reasons to consider the gimbaled version. Happy to comment further if you are interested.

dodgealum,

Your system has improved so much in recent years, I don't recognize it. Nicely done!

I was lucky enough to find a complete collection of "The Pablo Years" in mint++ condition. Excellent recordings, beautifully performed. If you can find one at a decent price, you might want to jump on it.

Best regards,
Dan

One of my favorite all time recordings;

Gershwin Live!
Sarah Vaughan and Los Angeles Philharmonic with Michael Tilson Thomas

If you like Sarah and Gershwin you can't do much better.

1 "Sarah Vaughan + 2"Early 1960s studio recording. Trio setting, beautiful. Acoustic bass and guitarist Barney Kessel.

2 "After Hours "early 1960s studio trio, again, beautiful! Acoustic bass and guitarist Mundell Lowe.

3 "Sarah Vaughan and Clifford Brown " superb match with the legendary trumpeter. This is a sextet grouping.

I find Vaughan more interesting and emotionally engaging than Ella’s. I have numerous recordings of both icons.

Hey thanks guys for the nice comments about my system. I've been very fortunate to have the support of some great friends in audio and feel I am getting closer to where I want to be. The forums here have been a great support!
