Music 'til Midnight - the best in easy listening sounds and timeless standards performed by the greatest artists from the past 60 years. Including singers Dean Martin, Keely Smith, Scott Walker and Mel Torme plus guitarists Wes Montgomery and Louis Stewart. This week's featured album is Sarah + 2, one of singer Sarah Vaughan's most intimate recordings of her long career. Recorded in 1962, this featured just Sarah's voice accompanied by bassist Joe Comfort and guitarist Barney Kessel. Since the album's release it has been universally hailed as the perfect vehicle for Sassy's expressive style which was shown at its best in a collection of well known standards including When Sunny Gets Blue, All I Do Is Dream Of You and Just In Time.
