The many-hued voice and minimal musicianship: single piano notes, drummer's brushes on cymbals, bowed standup bass, then all the instruments pausing for sassy Vaughan to build the climax. Remarkable. Thank you for this!
I just don't care for her inpretation/embellishment of this particular song. Sondheim's lyric's don't need any kind of interpretation. The words speak for thsemselves. in all other ways Sarah Vaughn was musical royalty in my opinion, along with Ella.
