Her music is unique, soulful, and enchanting, encompassing her wide array of influences from Sarah Vaughan to Ben Folds Five. Sara Gazarek was just another college kid from the Northwest, scrambling to make tuition as a jazz performance major at the esteemed Thornton School of Music at USC when she was named as a recipient of the prestigious Downbeat Student Music Award for Outstanding Collegiate Jazz Vocalist. Now, after the release of her remarkable debut CD “Yours,” Sara has performed with such jazz legends as Oleta Adams, Karrin Allyson, and Diane Schuur.
