Sarah + 2 is a 1962 studio album by American jazz singer Sarah Vaughan.^[1]

This was Vaughan's second album with just guitar and double bass accompaniment, following 1961's After Hours.

Reception

The Allmusic review by John Bush awarded the album three and a half stars and said that "The results are excellent, highlighting the power of Vaughan's voice, whether she's singing a rosy "All I Do Is Dream of You" or one of the most turgid torch songs, "All or Nothing at All." Her best feature is "When Sunny Gets Blue," a spotlight for her dynamic range.".^[1]
