In her last years,
Sarah Vaughan's recordings for
Norman Granz and the Pablo label were well done and well-received overall, her albums of Brazilian music and the LP
Crazy and Mixed Up topping the list. This collection features mostly ballads, sung pristinely, a little samba or bossa nova, two blues, a whole lot of the Count Basie Orchestra loaded with great soloists, and the hard swinging "From This Moment On," all on
Vaughan's typical high emotional peaks. These period pieces from 1978-1979 are admittedly a small slice, but a good representation of
Vaughan, leaving us on a high level. ~ Michael G. Nastos
