Sarah Lancman, singer and pianist, releases A Contretemps, a jewel of vocal jazz with pop colors, surrounded by pianist Giovanni Miarabassi.
With "A Contretemps", available since January 19, Sarah Lancman takes the opposite foot and breaks prejudices by adding a new nugget to the catalog of vocal jazz.
Sarah Lancman's voice surprises and celebrates jazz. Powerful, alternately confidential, confidential, caressing, sensual and warm, this voice marries the harmonies and elegant and refined melodies, tailor-made by Giovanni Mirabassi. Beautiful production and superb compositions. Moments of grace where musical highlights, romanticism and poetry alternate never leaving indifferent. At his side, jazz greats such as Giovanni Mirabassi or Gene Jackson, among others. But the interest of the opus is not based on names now prestigious. No, this album is beautiful by its finesse, subtlety, tenderness and especially by the voice of Sarah Lancman.
Here is the beautiful animated video of A Contretemps by Sarah Lancman:
Brilliant performance for a careful recording that opens up beautiful musical ranges while preserving the balance between interpretation and instrumentation. "A Contretemps" marks the meeting of a creative pianist and a voice in full rise but also marks the continuation of a beautiful musical adventure started previously on the album "Inspiring Love" with the same musical formation. On this record, Sarah Lancman is surrounded by a prestigious team: with pianist Giovanni Mirabassi (17 gold records, Victoire de la Musique, Django d'or,) who has played with Chet Baker, Steve Grossman, Eliott Zigmund, Glenn Ferris and many others, bassist Gianluca Renzi (Ari Hoenig, André Ceccarelli, Kevin Pays…), drummer Gene Jackson (Herbin Hancock Trio, Diane Reeves, Christian McBride, Joe Lovano…) and as special guest the great Japanese singer and trumpeter TOKU (13 albums, artist at Sony Jazz Japan).
