Sarah Vaughan, reissued in 1991 as Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown, is a 1955 jazz album featuring singer Sarah Vaughan and trumpeter Clifford Brown, released on the EmArcy label. It was the only collaboration between the two musicians. Well received, though not without some criticism, the album was Vaughan's own favorite among her works through 1980.[1] The album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.[2]

The album has been re-released on CD and LP many times, with its original nine-track listing and with an additional track.
