In spite of the fact that she has a beautiful album called Vanity there is not a hint of vanity in the way she sings. There is a broad all encompassing element of humility and a strongly purposed respect. The lyric and the line are treated as equals with each having its part in conveying the story of the song.
She sounds as close to every phrase as if they were her own thoughts, and in that way, she is the consummate storytelling artist. The music of another is safe with her but should also be well prepared to be explored uniquely and with adventure because that is where the Gazarek signature stems from, just like the swirls and loops and strokes of a written signature on paper, there is immediate recognition of the sound being Sara’s sound. Sara sings a song with a spirited energized intent.
Here’s what Sara impresses with: the listener experiences the song’s life, its breath, its heartbeat, and its soul, because she imprints her own life, breath, heartbeat, and soul, in the notes.
They are a song’s most precious parts, and she is that song’s friend.
