Fringe: Sassy: Mama Alto Sings Sarah Vaughan

25 September 2014 | 2:41 pm | Harry Hughes

Mama Alto gives a passionate history lesson on Sarah Vaughan, the legendary American jazz singer, treating us to a detailed biography of “The Divine One” between musical highlights from her career including Misty, Tenderly and Send In The Clowns. Mama does this all with the intention of turning us all into “Sarah Vaughan addicts” and arguably succeeds. Mama’s magical, flawless voice, accompanied by pianist Tiffanni Walton, paints a beautiful picture of the inspirational figure in a moving, genuine tribute that’ll have you Googling furiously.

The Butterfly Club, Melbourne Fringe Festival, to 28 Sep
