Search - Sarah Elizabeth Charles :: Red

Red touches on everything from uniquely crafted originals, to contemporary arrangements of jazz standards and re-workings of Haitian folklore music. Sarah s creative energy pours out of each arrangement and original composition with a sense of warmth, passion, honesty, and a unique voice that acts as the tie that binds between each song in her varied repertoire. This energy creates an environment of sound rich with jazz, soul, folklore, drones, modal homes, engaging harmony, and rhythmic variation. The S.E.Charles Quartet, composed of Sarah, Jesse Elder (piano), Burniss Earl Travis (bass), and John Davis (drums), has been together for two years working toward the sound that they have discovered today: one rooted in a musically intuitive nature and strong personal connections.
