Swingin' Easy

180-gram virgin vinyl; the complete album + 5 bonus tracks. Swingin' Easy finds the great Sarah Vaughan backed only by a rhythm section of piano, bass and drums, a format in which she only recorded a few times during this initial period of her career.

This is one of Sarah Vaughan's lesser-known albums for Emarcy, combining two separate trio sessions from 1954 and 1957. The earlier date includes pianist John Malachi, bassist Joe Benjamin and drummer Roy Haynes. The second trio includes the same drummer, plus pianist Jimmy Jones and bassist Richard Davis.
