Sara Vaughan's Golden Hits

«I was born with music inside me», jazz legend Sarah Vaughan used to say.

Surely her spiritual daughter Zara McFarlane can relate! In this special project, the talented British vocalist partners with the Luxembourgish trumpeter and composer Gast Waltzing to bring «The Divine One» back to life, on what would have been her 100th birthday. Expect elegance, audacity and emotion!
