Commentary (Contents): Sarah Gazarek, who underwent a major transformation with her previous album \"Distant Storm\" (US title: Thirsty Ghost), which was nominated for two Grammys (\"Best Jazz Vocal Album\" and \"Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals\"), has digitally released her latest EP and its remix version, and compiled them into a CD, which will be released exclusively in Japan. Arrangers Alan Farber, Stu Mindemann, and Jeffrey Keezer, who also worked on her previous album, are featured. Furthermore, Christian Youman (drums) and Milo Sprague (piano), who also participated in Youman's leader album \"Alemon,\" along with other LA musicians connected to Jacob Collier and Billy Childs, and Brad Allen Williams (guitar), who gained attention for his participation in the Jos? James Band, from NY, are among those participating. Tracks include M1, which Sarah Vaughan covered on her masterpiece \"After Hours,\" M2, a Rodgers-Hammerstein composition dedicated to her mother who was in a car accident, M3, her first composition of a poem by playwright Tennessee Williams, and M4, a cover of Fiona Apple's song?a selection typical of Sarah Gazarek. Amber Navran of Moonchild, currently one of LA's leading bands, is featured on these remix versions, contributing an effective and flowing sound, and Sam Wilkes (bass) and Jacob Mann (keyboards), also indispensable to the current LA scene, are also participating. Throughout the pandemic, Sarah Gazarek also participated in voice lessons with Theo Bleckman, delving deeply not only into her inner self but also into the very concept of \"voice,\" further evolving her approach in this work. While demonstrating a musical and vocal level of refinement and depth that allows her to tackle a wider range of instrumental arrangements, her unique intuition shines even brighter, ideally blending traditional jazz vocals with the realms of contemporary jazz.
