This celebration of the versatile and widely influential jazz singer Sarah Vaughan, whose nicknames included Sassy and the Divine Sarah, will find talented admirers performing her music in front of a full orchestra. “Among the singers of her generation, only Ella Fitzgerald enjoyed comparable stature,” The New York Times wrote of Vaughan, whose hits included “It’s Magic,” “What Lola Wants” and “Make Yourself Comfortable.”
