O’s Notes: Anyone attempting a Sarah Vaughan project is taking on a tremendous challenge as not many can mimic the legendary diva’s phrasing and impeccable tone. Ann Hampton Callaway is up to the task and sprinkles a bit of her own secret sauce on From Sassy to Divine! We got a preview of this album during a charity outing featuring Callaway in Charlotte. She was percolating then and the recording extends the memory of her live appearance. This one recreates memories of Sarah and celebrates the beauty of Callaway.
