Tonight: Jazz Alley with Sara Gazarek

Last night I thought I saw one of the fabulous musicians who I discovered on MySpace on Komo4 News. And it was vocalist extrordinaire Sara Gazarek. So I called Jazz Alley and it wasn’t too late to get tickets for Suzy and I to attend. She has a jazzy style and a supremely confident manner that is attractive.

Here is what the SG band sez: "This band has been together for almost three years now. We’ve recorded a couple of CD’s (you can find them on iTunes and at my website – http://www.saragazarek.com), we’ve been to a couple of counties, performed more than a couple of shows, and plan to perform alot more!

We as a band do all of the arrangements together, and perform exclusively as a group, so the music has a spirit to it, and the band is tight. We strive to bring a contemporary edge to the jazz standards that we do, or a jazzy edge to the american standards that we have in our book. We’re all pretty young and although we have a common love in jazz, we can’t deny our love for Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Leonard Cohen, and all the other great songwriters out there. We just want to do good music and have fun doing it! Thanks for stopping by.

After the event. The night was magic and Suzy and I really enjoyed the venue, service, and combo. Sara sang one of favorite songs of hers, Blackbird. Once she did a routine where she started to sing other famous people’s songs like those of Britney Spears, etc. In all a very memorable night. So I asked Sara if I could feature her song ‘Yours’ and she said,
