Sara Gazarek and Josh Nelson: Dream in the Blue
Dotata di uno stile personale, che fonde i riverberi nasali del timbro con inflessioni cristalline, la Gazarek presenta un album che spazia da momenti prettamente jazzistici come "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (dove evidenzia doti di scat singer e plasticità ritmica) a intense reinterpretazioni tratte dal songbook di Nick Drake ("Cello Song"), Beatles("Blackbird"), Bonnie Raitt ("I Can't Make You Love Me") e Laura Mvula ("Father Father").
Gli altri brani si dividono tra originals e noti standard ridisegnati con intelligenza come "No Moon At All" e "Mood Indigo." La relazione tra la cantante e il pianista è empatica e le loro interpretazioni si caratterizzano per la dimensione intima e ricercata, ricca di silenzi e chiaroscuri. Fa eccezione l'estroversa versione del classico "O Pato," contenente un pregnante assolo di Nelson.
