"Sara's CD is so beautiful, I can't help hearing the title track "Yours" over and over again in my head. I saw her at Yoshi's, and she was just as lovely live. Her band is AMAZING and adds so many textures and dynamics to the brilliant arrangements."
Essential Record

"Sara definitely provides one of the most stunning vocal performances of the year. In an industry full of pre-packaged and over produced Britneys, Ahslees, and BSBs, it is refeshing to find an artist that can hold her own without the need of hooky basslines and beats. While the fair is mostly Jazz Standards, her renditions of Blackbird, Circle Game and three original tracks - Yours, Amazing and You Got By - break up the tried and true songs and lets you experience a fresh perspective of Jazz. This is a record that anyone will love, and everyone should have."
What a surprise!

"On her debut album, "Yours", Miss Gazarek wooed me. I am a picky guy, especially when it comes to singers, but boy can this girl sing! I love how innovative the arrangements are - jazzy infused with her personal influences. There is a spirit and emotion to this record that most singers don't find until their 3rd or 4th album. Sara will be around for a long time."
Perfect.

"Recently, I heard Blackbird/Bye Bye Blackbird on my local radio but missed hearing the artist named. The song was in my head for a WEEK; I couldn't stop hearing that voice and instrumentals. Finally, after listening to a few versions on Rhapsody, I was again reunited with the gorgeous vocals of Sara Gazarek - and purchased the album immediately. I was surprised to find that each track has the quality of the first song I'd heard and loved so much. Ms. Gazarek's vocal stylings are unique, simple and classic at the same time. This CD mixes old favorites with a few new favorites - a definite must for anyone who wants a CD filled with music to make you just feel good. I don't think this album will leave my CD player for awhile."
AWESOME!!!!

"I first saw Sara in Seattle....although I'm from TX. Hubby and I were totally enthralled. I have worn out the CD we purchased that evening. I have seen her live several times since...she continues to blow me away. If you close your eyes you would think she was in her 30's....such maturity in her voice. I attended another concert in Seattle and was able to get her "in-between" CD to hold us over until the next CD comes out....it is just as awesome!!
There are not enough words to describe Josh either!! Where did he learn to play and write?!! WOW!!! I love all of his work!!
I can't wait for the new CD!! You will miss out on totally awesome music if you don't buy this now!!!"
