I Never Thought I'd Be Here

It doesn't always happen, but this time, the promoter got the keyword right, when it was declared that Sarah's jazz vocal work is "dazzling"... she leads a high-energy, high-talent crew of players (you can view them on the album page at Origin) on this ten-song bundle of energy... songs like the opener, "Perspective" (from one of her earlier albums, I believe), establishes her as one of the most talented jazz vocalists on the scene today! The swirling guitar on "Caverns of My Heart", as well as the pacing, made it one of my favorite jazz vocal tunes (yet) for 2016. If it's "frenetic" you want to listen to, you'll fall in love (immediately) with "Runaway Train"... this one brings back many fond jazz memories for me, & her scat work on this is absolutely KILLAH'! The song that got my personal vote for favorite, though, was "Light of Day"... & certainly makes the album merit the MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I give it, as well as an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.99.
