The New Scene is a 1966 studio album by Sarah Vaughan, arranged by Luchi de Jesus.^[1]

Reception

AllMusic's Jason Ankeny wrote: "Vaughan seems to grasp completely the excellence of the material at her disposal, savoring the lyrics and navigating the melodies with trademark artistry. De Jesus' buoyant arrangements are similarly perceptive, playing to Vaughan's myriad strengths while channeling the lessons of Abbey Road and Hitsville USA to subtly update her approach for a brave new world".^[1]
