SARI KESSLER QUARTET


**Price includes brunch, music and a drink.**


With her debut album Do Right released in 2016, Sari Kessler is fast becoming a singular force in jazz, praised by critics for her recorded material and live performances alike. All About Jazz proclaimed her "a first-rate interpreter, (able) to tap into the marrow of a lyric and bring its essence to the foreground." JazzTimes named her a "vital new voice," stating, "Kessler maintains a welcome less-is-more approach that emphasizes the purity of her tone, with its enticing hint of duskiness, and the immaculate quality of her phrasing."



A compelling storyteller and tasteful improviser, Sari exudes warmth and a joyful spirit both on and off the stage. She says, "I know my stories and I know myself. Being an effective jazz singer means finding myself in the lyric and investing each word with meaning." Looking at a list of Kessler's influences—including Carmen McRae, Nina Simone, and Ray Charles—highlights a tradition of great storytellers, each of whom carved an unbeaten path across the landscape of the Great American Songbook.

Kessler has shared the stage with the legendary talents of Houston Person, Gene Bertoncini, and Phoebe Snow. She has appeared in the San Francisco Bay Area and at leading Manhattan venues such as Jazz at Kitano, Cornelia Street Café, Minton's, 55 Bar, and Jazz on the Plaza. In the Hamptons, she's been featured at Shelter Island Jazzfest, LI Winterfest, and The Art of Song Parlor Jazz Concert Series. Sari's wide-ranging resume also includes studio work, providing lead and background vocals for Miramax and public radio.

Join Sari on an exciting musical journey of jazz, soul, and originals as she makes her debut at Blue Note, NYC!
