Send in the Clowns is a 1981 studio album by Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by the Count Basie Orchestra.[1]

This was Vaughan's third album with the Count Basie Orchestra, her previous two were No Count Sarah (1958) and Count Basie/Sarah Vaughan (1961).

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said that it was an "enjoyable date...the arrangements by Sammy Nestico and Allyn Ferguson unfortunately do not leave much room for any of the Basie sidemen to solo, but Sassy is in superb form".[1]
