Sara Gazarek: And So It Goes

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.
