       There are those in jazz whose talents have been manifold. Art Tatum, for
instance, could have undoubtedly have been a fine classical pianist should he
have chosen a different path. Likewise the singer born Sarah Lois Vaughan. Her
voice was magnificent. Vocally she could have been anything she wanted to be.
Her range was such that she could have easily moved into opera. Not that Sarah
had any such intentions. Born in 1924, she grew up in Newark, New Jersey,
singing and sometimes playing piano with the local New Mount Zion Baptist Church
choir. But, while still a teenager, she opted for life in a more secular sphere.
Ralph Cooper, MC and producer at Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, recalled Sarah
making her first appearance at the venue’s legendary Amateur Night in
1942. “She was so thin and so young…I thought about talking her out
of it” he recalled in his memoirs. “But as soon as I heard her sing
I knew she was an exceptional talent. I wasn’t the only one impressed by
Sarah. Earl ‘Fatha’ Hines, was so amazed when he heard her, it took
him three weeks to get his mouth closed.” By April, 1943 she’d
become a vocalist with Hines’ stellar big band, partnering Billy
Eckstine, who reputedly had tipped Hines off regarding Sarah’s
performances at the Apollo after she’d won the Amateur contest with a
sensational version of ‘Body And Soul’, and been awarded a week on
the regular bill as part of her prize. Hines’ band was, at that point,
arguably the most creative aggregation in American music. Sarah found herself
amid a set of musicians who were changing the course of jazz, a lineup that
included bebop mainmen Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. The latter proved as
wonder-struck about Sarah’s singing as Eckstine. “She can sing
notes that other people can’t even hear” he enthused. With Hines,
Sarah flourished. Billy Eckstine, already a star, taught her microphone
techniques, and helped enhance her phrasing and presentation. In 1944, when
Eckstine left to form his own big band, Sarah went with him, becoming part of
one of jazzdom’s most star-studded line-ups, such musicians as Miles
Davis, Fats Navarro, Kenny Durham, Dexter Gordon, Wardell Gray, Gene Ammons,
Sonny Stitt, Leo Parker and Art Blakey all contributing to a sound formulated by
such arrangers as trombonist Gerald Valentine and tenor sax man Budd Johnson.
