"Jazz critic Leonard Feather called her “the most important singer to emerge from the bop era.” Ella Fitzgerald called her the world’s “greatest singing talent.” During the course of a career that spanned nearly fifty years, she was the singer’s singer, influencing everyone from Mel Torme to Anita Baker. She was among the musical elite identified by their first names. She was Sarah, Sassy — the incomparable Sarah Vaughan."

- excerpt from pbs.org

Sassy Poster

 

Memphis singer/songwriter, Tonya Dyson, first conceived the thought of doing a theatrical tribute to Sarah Vaughan back in 2009.  The show seemed to naturally come together as Tonya decided to do a little research into the personal background of Sarah Vaughan after studying her music for years.  The research not only revealed a deeper appreciation of Sarah's vocal abilities, but a closer look at her complex life behind the music. 

The replenished love of Sarah Vaughan's music paired with a more in-depth understanding of her life makes this multi-media prodcution featuring a jazz quintet, monologues, dance & bee bop a must see!
