The album 'Sassy Swings Again' was recorded in 1967 and released by Verve Records. It was produced by Bob Thiele, who worked closely with Sarah Vaughan during her time on the label. The record features orchestral arrangements by Benny Carter and a top-tier rhythm section, including pianist Jimmy Jones.
The repertoire combines jazz standards and pop hits of the era, such as 'The Shadow of Your Smile' and 'On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever)'. Vaughan showcases her vocal versatility, alternating between intimate ballads and more rhythmic numbers. Critics praised her ability to transform familiar songs with her unique style.
Although not a massive commercial success, the album is considered a solid showcase of Vaughan's talent in the 1960s. Her collaboration with Benny Carter brought an orchestral elegance that complements her voice. The album was reissued on CD in later years, maintaining its relevance among vocal jazz collectors.
