"When I hear, Sassy, I want to cut my wrists with a dull razor, and let her sing me to death…." - Frank Sinatra
Join us at the APSS as we celebrate The Divine and Sassy One herself, Sarah Vaughan (1924-1990) in honor of her centennial. This one-of-a-kind program, presented by the Wall Street Journal's Will Friedwald, Grammy-nominated writer-producer, 2024 winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in Jazz Journalism, covers her entire career, from her roots in Newark to the height of her international fame, over the course of a remarkable career that spanned five decades. We trace "Sassy's" artistic evolution in images, words, and rare video performances, and along the way we meet such storied co-stars as Billy Eckstine, Tony Bennett, Dizzy Gillespie, and Michel Legrand.
from October through June, 12pm - 2pm
at:
 343 W. 46th St., NYC |
