Sara Gazarek: And So It Goes
Buy Track
Recorded: San Clemente, California, Sept-Dec. 2006
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
Gazarek has a beautiful voice and she digs deeply into this ballad. – an unusual transformation of a Billy Joel song into a jazz mood piece. There is no fuss or pretense to this performance, just a complete commitment to the feeling state of the song. In my ideal jazz universe, singers would feel emotions more deeply than mere mortals – after all, they symbolically carry the torch of love for the rest of us. Gazarek achieves that rare level of expression on this track.
