Born in 1989, Sarah Lancman is a French vocalist, pianist and songwriter based in Paris. Starting at the tender age of seven, she began classical piano studies at the Conservatoire du Centre in Paris. Many years later, whilst she was completing her Bachelor's degree in composition, jazz piano and singin at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU), she also won First Prize in the International Shure Voice Competition in Montreux (Switzerland) in 2012, chaired that year by Quincy Jones.

Sarah has toured in her home country of France and Turkey many times and has performed in other European countries such as Switzerland and Spain. In 2016, she was invited by The Jazz Foundation of America to perform in New York as one of three “Rising Stars” from being a prior Montreux Jazz Festival winner.

Sarah also toured in Japan and South Korea in 2018. She was managed by music label Jazz Eleven for five years to 2021 and just created her own company Unlimited Music France in September 2022 for producing her new album.

She returns with a sixth album, "Le pouvoir des mots" (The Power Of Words) borrowing a majestic sweetness in which she reconnects with her love of the piano by singing on original compositions inspired by the world of Michel Legrand, Charles Aznavour as well as that of the musical comedies of the 60s, thus mixing her love for Jazz & the Chanson tradition on arrangements signed by Philippe Maniez. Accompanied by the prestigious Quatuor Hanson and special guests, Belgian-New Yorker guitarist Jeanfrancois Prins, as well as the rising jazz star, the saxophonist Louis Billette, this new opus will be released in spring 2023 : May 26TH 2023

Giovanni Mirabassi & Sarah Lancman - Intermezzo

(2:51) 1. Il poeta
(4:41) 2. Estate
(4:50) 3. Parlami d'amore mariù
(3:57) 4. Ah che sarà, che sarà
(3:42) 5. Vedrai, vedrai

(3:36) 8. Sabato italiano
(3:21) 9. Senza fine

Giovanni Mirabassi remains one of my favorite Jazz pianists. I really love his trio efforts, be it on Terra Furiosa, Live in Toyko, or, probably my preferred one, Architectures.

Mirabassi is Italian, but has been living in Paris for many years. As mentioned above, he trio output (mainly with Gianluca Renzi and Leon Parker) is fantastic, but he’s also collaborated with some excellent singers, e.g. Angela Elvira Herrera Zaparta and Maikel Ante Fajardo on Adelante, and on Sarah Lancman’s previous 2018 albums A Contretemps and Inspiring Love. Both albums only featured Sarah on the title, now we have a recording where both Lancman and Mirabassi share the cover. The two already met in 2015 and have toured together.

Sarah Lancman is a young French singer, who studied in Paris, and has released three albums so far. There is no shortage of excellent Jazz singers today, but still, Lancman has a very recognisable, unique voice. Not suprisingly, she won the first price in a jazz contest hosted by Quincy Jones.

So what do you get? Well, you could argue, is this still Jazz?

You basically get beautiful duos where Mirabassi plays in a very intimate and connected way with Sarah, who singing exclusively in Italian (note the album cover kind of gives it away) on this album.

Every once in a while, Olivier Bogé joins playing the saxophone, with a sound somewhat reminiscent of Stan Getz. So who cares if this is Jazz or not? All of this is just hugely enjoyable, beautiful, intimate music, and really worth checking out

In music, the mishap (Contretemps) is a rhythmic process that breaks a regular emphasis when a sound, started on a low time, is interrupted on the next high note. It’s her knowledge of music – Sarah Lancman singer-songwriter has made some serious studies, piano and composition, before opting for singing, which may have inspired this title, for talking to us again about love. Because the point is really about love and the love that inspires her.

So here we are with a new album as fresh as the last one, even more succeeded and that confirms several things: that Sarah Lancman is a great jazz singer, promised a bright future, that the association with her mentor, excellent musician , entrepreneur, virtuoso pianist, Giovanni Mirabassi, produces beauty, highlighting their respective talents and finally that she is on the way to a great career. A matter of time… And as if that were not enough, the creation of this album recorded in Bangkok, inaugurates a magnificent project, the birth of a new independent label, emerged as the hold up of the century: Jazz Eleven.

As in the famous film, are gathered for this project, around Giovanni and Sarah, talents and specialists from all over the world: the double bass Gianluca Renzi (Ari Hoenig, Andrew Ceccarelli, Kevin Hays …), on drums Gene Jackson (Herbie Hancock Trio, Diane Reeves, Christian McBride, Joe Lovano …), and as special guest, the amazing Japanese singer and trumpeter Toku (13 albums, Sony Jazz Japan artist) … Not to mention Lukmil Perez on percussion, in the title “Tout Bas”
