This anthology of The Divine One's greatest works of the late 1950s to early 1960s (1958-1962) includes more five-star performances than any chanteuse should be able to lay claim to. The anthology kicks off with the Basie Orchestra (sans Basie) "No Count Sarah", a date which simply skips nimbly from peak to peak beginning with 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes', progressing through' Darn That Dream', 'Just One of Those Things', to the improvised title track and my favorite 'Cheek To Cheek'. The album "Dreamy" is, in my view, the apogee of Romance while "The Divine One" runs the gamut of her musical palate. "Count Basie-Sarah Vaughan" is the successor to "No Count Sarah" and is in its selections superior, IMO.
