On September 24, 1973 Sarah Vaughan Cli-maxed a tour of Japan with a concert at Sun Plaza hall in Tokyo, Fortunately this is not one of these extraordinary musical events that endure only in the memories of those in attendance. The concert was recorded and the result ranks among the most durably rewarding of all of Sarah Vaughan's albums. In my own view, this two-volume triumph is matched only by a Gershwin set Sarah recorded some years ago under the aegis of Bobby Shad who also produced this album. Sarah's transmutation of Gershwin songs is no longer available according to the Schwann catalog and therefore this Tokyo revelation of the range of Sarah's prowess is all the more valuable.
