Product Description

When an older jazz singer warns a younger jazz singer that vocal jazz is an extremely crowded, brutally competitive field, it isn't just rhetoric — vocal jazz (like just about any other area of music) has a lot more applicants than openings or opportunities. Therefore, aspiring young jazz singers need to do everything possible to stand out and make a personal statement — and on the more memorable parts of her debut album, Yours, Sara Gazarek stands out. While the West Coast singer (who was in her early twenties when bassist John Clayton produced this album in April 2005) still has some growing and developing to do, she definitely has potential. Gazarek's approach is best described as vocal jazz by way of a singer/songwriter aesthetic; one hears influences like Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, and Abbey Lincoln in her vocals, but a healthy appreciation of Carole King and Joni Mitchell asserts itself as well.

トラディショナルなJAZZの楽曲を取り上げて...

投稿日：2012/05/26 (土)

トラディショナルなJAZZの楽曲を取り上げているにもかかわらず、不思議と泥臭さが感じられないのは、曲のアレンジはもちろんですが彼女の声質と唱法によるところが大きいと思われます。JAZZとPopsの要素をうまくクロスオーバーさせた傑作。是非、彼女の優しさにあふれた声に包まれ癒されてはいかがでしょうか。

ハスキーな気持ちいいヴォーカルのサラ・ガザレクのデビュー・アルバム。新鮮で聴いていて気持ちいいです！おなじみの曲が、新しく生まれ変わっていてピアノとベースとドラムもniceです★

スタンダードも彼女流のアレンジが効いてる。個人的には”more”や”so this is love”も聴ききたい。新譜を下げてまた東京に来て欲しい！‥‥願望です。
