Graced with an “impeccable” voice (Winnipeg Free Press) and hailed as an artist that “may well turn out to be the next important jazz singer” by the LA Times, two time GRAMMY Award® nominated vocalist Sara Gazarek has been one of the leading lights of an impressive generation of jazz vocalists since her brilliant emergence at age 20. While her subsequent career has been the picture of success – highlighted by five acclaimed albums, an ardent fanbase, enthusiastic reviews, a teaching position at the University of Southern California, and collaborations with such luminaries as Kurt Elling, Fred Hersch, Billy Childs, and Larry Goldings, it is with her latest double GRAMMY® nominated album, Thirsty Ghost, that Gazarek finally brings her musical expression stunningly into phase with her emotional maturity. Gazarek is also a member of GRAMMY® nominated vocal super-group, säje (who had the honor of performing at last year’s GRAMMY® Premiere Ceremony), serves on the board of the LA Chapter of the Recording Academy and the Los Angeles Jazz Society, and is currently on faculty at the University of Southern California in the Jazz Studies program.
