When did you first discover the music and life of Sarah Vaughan?
When I was in high school in Brooklyn, my aunts and uncles were young adults, and they used to play a lot of music around the house. I also hung out with a crowd that was a little older than me, and they were also young adults though a lot younger than my aunt and uncle and they were always going to concerts and talking about these different musicians. Sarah was a particular favorite of one of my dearest friends. I got to sit in the living rooms of my friends and listen for hours to this music. I didn t know that it was seeping in at that time, but it kind of stayed with me.
