CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: SARA GAZAREK PREVIEWS NEW MUSIC
West-Coast Jazz Vocalist Sara Gazarek previews new music at BIRDLAND (315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) on Thursday, January 9th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. Sara Gazarek is a gifted artist with a singular sound and vision. Steeped in the tradition of jazz, she is also deeply informed by contemporary songwriters and performers. Her influences range from Nick Drake and Harry Nilsson to Duke Ellington and Irene Kral. Her most recent release, Blossom & Bee (Palmetto), produced by organist Larry Goldings, featured guest artist John Pizzarelli and gained her a new level of acclaim as one of the finest young vocalists in jazz. Known for offering emotionally expansive standards, Sara creates uncommonly memorable originals too, all delivered with a thoughtful poignancy and rich, supple tones. She will debut new music she's written and feature selections from Blossom & Bee. Her engagement will mark the first time in five years she has performed in New York City due to international touring in Asia and Europe and considerable USA touring and work on the West Coast. She will be joined by her stellar Los Angeles-based band of nine years: pianist Josh Nelson (Natalie Cole, Monk Competition finalist); bassist Sam Minaie (Tigran Hamasayan); and drummer Zach Harmon (Terence Blanchard). Guitarist Randy Napoleon (Freddy Cole) will also be featured. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.copyright 2014 - See cabaret listings from all over the world at CABARET HOTLINE ONLINE
