Sara Gazarek March 18, 2011

Sara Gazarek is a young artist on an amazing musical journey, a creative sojourn that may well help shape the future of jazz vocals. Championed by some of music's most celebrated figures, she has emerged as strikingly original. In a follow-up to Yours, her widely hailed 2005 debut of American Songbook standards, the 25-year-old delivers a sensational effort with Return to You, seamlessly combining the intimacy of singer/songwriter stylings with the musical and improvisational elements of jazz. Blessed with a gorgeous, translucent voice, excellent pitch, and supple sense of time, Gazarek is steeped in the jazz tradition, but is not afraid to embrace the music that moves her generation.
