Contained here is the complete original album Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown (EmArcy MG36004). It was originally issued solely under the singer's name. However, the tragic death of the featured trumpeter in 1956, and the fact that this was his only recorded collaboration with Vaughan, led to both musicians' names being featured on the covers of later releases.
The LP Sarah Vaughan in the Land of Hi-Fi (EmArcy MG36058), which pairs Vaughan with alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley, has been added in its entirety as a bonus. Both albums boast the same rhythm section, feature arrangements by Ernie Wilkins, and are considered among the finest of the singer's storied career.
