Perhaps the song is about "the divine" Sarah Vaughn (aka Sassy, aka Sailor).

She was an amazing singer. Check out these songs:

I can't listen to a lot of jazz but I do like to hear tidbits every now and then.

That's why I love RP - thanks Bill and Rebecca.  The variety is refreshing.

Cute seggy from Stevie's Sir Duke!
 
Yeah, I was actually wondering where he was going to go after Stevie - kept with the horns theme which is always a pleasure.  This is really good, but not great for me.  At least after this first listen.   7.
