Sarah Vaughan - Live at Laren 1975 [Sapphire Edition]

Características

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!
Frédéric D’Oria-Nicolas, the musical treasure hunter behind The Lost Recordings, describes the path the label had to take to make this release a reality as follows: “This discovery has a special place for us since it is the first tape of a previously unreleased concert that we have found! It was Piet Tullenaar, a researcher who had been working in the Dutch archives for several decades who managed to identify this tape exceptional. We were in the studio, amazed by Sarah's voice. “Everything Must Change” brought us a few tears that we were all trying to hide..."
“The Lost Recordings” is celebrated worldwide for preserving invaluable musical heritage and for the unsurpassed quality of its Phoenix Mastering™ restorations and is now releasing this legendary concert for the first time in absolute reference quality: The “Sapphire Edition” comes as a double LP (33 RPM), with 200-gram transparent Ultimate Record® vinyl. The hand-numbered edition is strictly limited to 1,000 copies, and the luxurious box set includes a 16-bit download card for the album. Sound wizard Kevin Gray himself is responsible for the lacquer cuts.
