Release Notes:
Liner Note Author: James Ritz. Recording
information: The Sands, Las Vegas, NV (08/1968).
Nancy Wilson is in top form on this 1968
performance from the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Her
singing is passionate and spirited on all 14
tracks. Throughout this set, Wilson exacts the same
kind of penetrating timbre and elegant, pointed
elocution as her idol Dinah Washington. Wilson is a
master communicator, and each lyric--particularly
the racially charged "Black is Beautiful" from
"K.C. Medley"--shows off her unique and poignant
vocal abilities. While "Just Go" was first
premiered during Wilson's stint at The Sands, most
of this material can be heard on studio albums.
Nonetheless, hearing Wilson belt it out live is an
experience to treasure. "The Man That Got Away" is
an uproarious number that features a burning hot
big band arrangement (played at breakneck speed).
Not surprisingly, Wilson eats this tune up,
delivering one of her best performances of the
night. The old chestnut "I Can't Get Started"
highlights Wilson's ability to interpret the
standard repertoire. From back to front this
exciting set is filled with great musicianship,
smart orchestrations, and above all else, stunning
vocal performances
