Thanks to the late impresario Lou Van Rees and the Dutch Jazz Archive, (part of the Muziek Centrum Nederland) this concert has been released more then 50 years later in a series entitled Jazz at the Concertgebouw. It's its fourth record. Previous concerts released where concerts with Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan and Jay Jay Johnson, all three pearls in European jazz history.
Sarah Vaughan had brought her trio, featuring Ronnell Bright at the piano, Richard Davis on double bass and Art Morgan (labeled as David), on drums. This Ronnell Bright Trio had recorded in Paris a few days before this Amsterdam concert for Polydor. In the morning of the 7th of June, preceding the night concert, Sarahand her Trio were guests at the Dutch TV studios in Bussum for a short concert.
The night concert at the Concertgebouw opened with the Arvell Shaw Group, featuring Arvell Shaw on double bass. During the previous month Arvell Shaw had made some concerts with the Benny Goodman band at the American Theater (now Amerikaans Theater) in Brussels; Benny Goodman was invited ( like Sarah Vaughan was ..... (!)), to play at the US pavilion of the Brussel's World Fair. Arvell Shaw also joined Goodman in two more concerts in Holland in May at the Concertgebouw and the famous Blokker concert. The other members of his group all lived in Holland: Tenor saxophonist Don Byas and drummer Wally Bishop were permanent Dutch residence and Frans Elsen, who passed away in The Hague last week, 76-years old, was a sought after Dutch jazz piano player, who often had accompanied Don and Wally.Horen, zien en .... schrijven, the newspaper's radio and Tv-review article (PZC 9th of June 1958).
After the break Sarah Vaughan opened her concert with the tunes If This Isn't Love and Passing Strangers to continue with another 10 songs, most standards from the American songbook, like That Old Devil Moon, Tenderly, Autumn in New York, Body and Soul and I Cried For You to list some. During the final number, How High The Moon, the three US musicians Don Byas, Arvell Shaw and Wally Bishop joined Sarah Vaughan and her Trio for a ten-minutes jam, which can be labelled as one of the most interesting and spontaneous tracks of the album.The concert poster: Art Morgan was listed as David Morgan (prob. his official name) and Ronnell's first name was misspelled.
Bert Vuijsje, Dutch jazz journalist, is responsible for the extensive and informative liner notes and it will give you a lot of detailed information about the concert. It would be desirable if all historical releases had such informative liner notes like this one!! This Sarah Vaughan album, If This Isn't Love, is a great album - a missing link in the Dutch and European jazz history, now for the first time available for the true jazz fan. http://keepswinging.blogspot.ru/
