Sarah Vaughan • Swingin' Easy

 

Review from AllMusic (by Ken Dryden):

Swingin' Easy is one of Sarah Vaughan's lesser known albums for Emarcy, combining two separate trio sessions from 1954 and 1957. The earlier date includes pianist John Malachi, bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Roy Haynes. Vaughan's lush ballad technique is in full force in "Lover Man," "Polka Dots and Moonbeams," and "Body and Soul," while she scats in a midtempo setting of "If I Knew Then (What I Knew Now)" and her own "Shulie a Bop." The second trio includes pianist Jimmy Jones, bassist Richard Davis, and Haynes. Aside from a brisk, miniature treatment of "Linger Awhile" and a playful setting of "I Cried for You," the session is highlighted by a breezy "All of Me." Vaughan is in terrific form throughout both dates, with the songs mostly running around the three-minute mark.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Ken Dryden):

Swingin' Easy es uno de los álbumes menos conocidos de Sarah Vaughan para EmArcy y combina dos sesiones diferentes de trío, de 1954 y 1957. En la primera participaron el pianista John Malachi, el contrabajista Joe Benjamin y el baterista Roy Haynes. La extraordinaria técnica de Vaughan para las baladas se manifiesta plenamente en "Lover Man", "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" y "Body and Soul", mientras que realiza scat en "If I Knew Then (What I Knew Now)" y en su propia composición "Shulie a Bop". El segundo trío incluye al pianista Jimmy Jones, el contrabajista Richard Davis y Haynes. Además de una versión breve y ágil de "Linger Awhile" y una interpretación juguetona de "I Cried for You", la sesión destaca por una animada versión de "All of Me". Vaughan se encuentra en una forma extraordinaria a lo largo de ambas sesiones, con temas que duran generalmente alrededor de tres minutos.
