I had the honor to play piano for Sass for a few years. And I'm on this concert except when she played. it was a pretty extensive tour through europe. And I've got to say that playing for her and sharing the stage with this great artist was probably one of the most gratifying events of my career. And to this day I still miss her. Frank

Is that you, Frank Collette? (Sorry if I botched the spelling) In the Fall semester of senior year of college - October, 1985 :) - my then-girlfriend and I drove down from upstate NY for the second year in a row to hear Sarah Vaughan at the Blue Note. We sat right below you. I remember a ballad - pretty sure it was "Here's Rainy Day", but not 100% - and in one of her choruses, she started changing keys, seemingly at random (maybe it was a series of substitutions, my ears and education weren't quite "there" yet), while looking at you sideways, with a smart aleck glances, and you stayed with her! We two were riveted by your concentration, and watched your reading glasses slide down and then nearly off. You managed to grab them and then put the down without missing a beat or a chord change. You can be sure we told every one of our professors back up in music school. I told the Jazz program head that what I'd heard and seen that weekend scared and intimated me. "I'm getting a degree this year!" I complained. "Should this be happening at this stage of my life?" "Yes," he said. "That degree isn't the end, it's the very beginning. If you're smart and lucky, there will be things that you'll hear and go, 'huh?', and then you'll learn about them and grow some more. Frank Collette is a magnificent piano player, so you were lucky to hear him, and with Sarah Vaughan? That was a semester of school right there!" Do I remember correctly that it was Andy simpkins and HHarold Jones with you? Cheers!

@@luvmyrecords RIP Frank Collett, sadly. In 1985, he played both in Europe (as above, and on the OBLIGATORY "Live In The City of Lights" double CD - outta' sight - same tour), and Japan - here on KZread as "Live At Satin Doll, Tokyo" - this, though, is the excellent Bob Maize on bass - but, I believe, Andy Simpkins was may be on the Tokyo dates. He certainly returned to the trio - I know that - along with the fantastic Harold Jones (of Count Basie fame - now on the road, TO THIS DAY, with Tony Bennett!). George Gaffney was the regular piano player, though (and GREAT TOO!).

Lovely. True Jazz/ swing piano, Great Saz! MW

Almost crying. Such a dear lady. So kind and warm and her heart is always there for you. She was genuinely there for us. ♥ She believed in human-kind.

A Different Era!!!! True Musicians, True Talent; What a Stunning Performance!!!!!

She sewed her own stage gowns too! Probably sewed the gown she was wearing. She was also a great cook! Wow... the incomparable Divine Sarah

Excellent!!!!!!!! My favorite Jazz singer.....

Thanks, thanks, thanks......wonderful video!!! Wish I was there.....

Beautiful and perpetually young, she died way too soon. Lordy, what talent and skill and natural ability.

Beautiful classics /jazz/syncopation from the GOAT ...Sarah Vaughan

What a truly lovely and talented human being!

No: She was "DIVINE"!

I am so lucky to have Seen her live in 1989 summer in Chicago.

I could listen to her play all day!

She really could play that piano , i saw her doing this a few times. One time in 1981 at the North Sea Jazz Festival . She also was very funny that night.

Short story, I first became aware of this gem in 1957 i heard "what a difference a day makes" I fell in love with the way she embellished a note, In the 1980s she was due to perform at "yoshi's" in Oakland ,Ca she cancelled I later heard she had transitioned. What a incredible talent.One love.

So glad to see her playing.I am inspired!

Wow, this is such a treat for me. Ms. Vaughn's voice is very much like my aunt's beautiful voice (who birthed my cousin; Professor Ed Gooch, of Detroit, MI; he partnered with my father in teaching me to play piano). My Aunt Clara, Ed's mom, also plays piano, wonderfully. Ms. Vaughn's outstanding vocals have intrigued me over the decades, but I never knew that she played the piano! Oh, what a treat!! Her beautiful, chocolate skin adds the icing to her wonderful personality, also. Thank you, "diva" Ms. Vaughn. We love you!!

Wow, Even I knew that! Sarah Vaughn and Nina Simone were known for playing the piano and their performance of Jazz. Nina Simone was a Classical trained pianist from the age of 4. My parent's and relatives would play the albums of the icons of this Era. A few of the albums showed her sitting at the piano! Some of the female Jazz Icon's during that era were Dinah Washington, Esther Phillips, Sarah Vaughn, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald!! It is very surprising that you were fascinated by her voice over the decades but obviously never studied her background in depth!!! Why didn't the Professor , his mother and your father tell you about this Magnificent ,Talented Jazz Musician? At some point her outstanding ability to play the piano should have been discussed.

Sweet Sounds Always from Sarah ! Miss Her !

Brings tears to my eyes.

Classy Sassy! She was Extraordinaire and unique, no musician such as her had graced the stage since her passing.

Thanks for posting this wonderful performance.:)

I love her so much. Incredible talent.

I had the honour of hearing Sarah playing the piano in Milano. The audience would not let her leave the stage. So she played Ravel's "Sonatine pour piano" - one of the musical events of my life.

I never knew she played..She is brilliant

She's just a superb musician!

You have made my day. That was wonderful, just wonderful.

Wonderful

SARAH VAUGHAN interpreta al piano TEA FOR TWO , pieza compuesta en 1925 por Vincent Youmans . Era buena pianista .Comienza con unas notas sobre temas de RACHMANINOV ( PRELUDIO EN DO SOSTENIDO MENOR, pieza que es la Nº 2 de la obra FANTASÍA OPUS 3 , que tiene 5 piezas) , y a BEETHOVEN (PARA ELISA) +una tercera que desconozco , para pasar ya al TE PARA DOS .Tengo una foto de 1943 en la que aparece SARAH como 2ª pianista en la big band de EARL HINES, frente a frente los 2 pianos. En dicha orquesta de 18 músicos tocaban entre otros, CHARLIE PARKER Y DIZZY GILLESPIE , y una mujer que tocaba el acordeón.

just great. thank you.

So intense what a melody maker ...

Thanks a million for posting such wonderful moments with the Divine One

Lovely piece

un autre moment magique de sa carrière exceptionnelle celui-ci que j'adore ❤ merci Sarah Vaughan du bonheur que tu nous as donnée & que tu nous donnes encore à écouter absolument

She was brought up in the Baptist church, traveled for years w/ jazz musicians on the bus - how could she not have developed a unique sense of humor . Love you Sass !

Wow! Not surprising. She is just pure music.

Wow! Wow! Ask google, and you shall receive. I saw a clip of Miss Vaughn accompanying herself, on piano, while singing Over the Rainbow. I wanted a video of her just playing piano, and this beautiful clip came up. I had no idea she had this talent, in addition to her great singing talent.

What a great entertainer 🏆

I was clueless as to her piano playing. Wow. So talented a lady.

Amazing!

No one can deny Sarah Vaughn and Esther Phillips talents! Both were Classically trained, who performed All over the world with different bands and Orchestras. Aretha Franklin and Dinah Washington can be included as well. In MY Opinion, what distinguished them from a lot of today's performers is the ability to play an Instrument, not just sing! This put these 4 ladies in a category by themselves!! The Musical Industry has changed so over the past 40 years and NO real talent is demanded! A "Look" on stage and selling'SEX' thus getting an award. From Madonna, Celine Dion Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, ADELE, Beyonce, Rihanna, Mary J Blige and the list goes on, showing their flesh and this is what world wants to see!

It’s funny how you used some of the few genuinely talented singers still around as examples of why the music industry is awful. It is awful now, but you really weakened your point using people like Whitney Houston, Mary J Blige, Adele, etc who are actually good vocalists.

Her sense of timing and musicality was probably rooted in her innate knowledge of music and, above all, pure talent.

"The Divine One" She let her voice do the talking.
