This 1949 session from one of the all-time jazz greats (female or otherwise) features fellow heavyweights Miles Davis, Freddie Green and Budd Johnson among others. Vaughan recorded for Columbia between 1949 and 1952, yet only two LPs were ever released from the many tracks she produced during that period: the strings-only Afterhours and the present Sarah Vaughan In Hi-Fi, which is a more jazz-oriented collection. These are, without question, some of Vaughan’s finest recordings. Hear her in her prime.
