The Divine One


The Divine One is a 1960 studio album by Sarah Vaughan, arranged by Jimmy Jones. One of Vaughan's first albums for Roulette Records, "The Divine One" was, along with "Sassy" a nickname for Vaughan.

Reception

The Allmusic review by John Bush awarded the album four stars and said that "Recorded just after Sarah Vaughan joined the Roulette label...The Divine One found her in exactly the right circumstances to suit her excellent talents. Arranged by Jimmy Jones...the setting was a small group that included one strong voice to accentuate hers - and no less a strong and clear voice than trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison. Roulette would soon push Vaughan in many different directions - releasing over a dozen LPs in just a few short years - but this small-group date is a gem".
