INDIANAPOLIS, IN: SARA GAZAREK: BLOSSOM & BEE

Sara Gazarek brings her show 'Blossom & Bee' to
THE CABARET AT THE COLUMBIA CLUB (121 Monument Circle, Indianapolis, IN - 317-275-1169) on Friday, September 12th at 8:00 pm and Saturday, September 13th at 7:00 pm. Sara is steeped in the jazz
tradition but not afraid to embrace the music that moves her generation, The evening will include songs from her newest acclaimed CD, Blossom & Bee, an undeniable nod to the spirit of Blossom Dearie. Born and raised in Seattle, Gazarek grew up without much exposure to jazz. In her early
teens she was inspired by musical theater and dance, but she ended up discovering and falling in love with the jazz choir at her high school. The director, Scott Brown, became the first of several essential musical mentors, and he started steering her towards great jazz singers/musicians and classic jazz recordings. She chose her future in her senior year, when her school band flew to New York City to compete in the Essentially Ellington Competition, hosted by the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. It was the first year that the competition included a big band vocal feature, so Gazarek joined the band, and ended up walking away with the first ever Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation Vocal Soloist Award. There is a $25-$35 cover plus a $12 food/drink minimum.
