Sarah McKenzie released 3 new tracks last Fall. When the corona virus hit in early March, Sarah was on tour in France and all her shows got cancelled. At the same time the US government implemented a travel ban for everyone who was travelling from the Schengen territory so Sarah was unable to return to her home in Los Angeles immediately. 'In order not to get stuck during lockdown in a big city I rented an old school house in the very South of England, in Hastings at the English Channel coast. It was a very romantic place from the 17th century with vines on the outside and a large garden with roses and lots of other flowers and old, very stylish furniture on the inside and an old piano that I would play every day. We had planned to stay for two weeks, in the end it was 3 1/2 months. I found a small but well equipped recording studio in Hastings, that had an engineer who had recorded a lot of jazz, and a Yamaha baby grand piano. Perfect conditions to start working 24/7. The song SCHNELLER! was inspired by drives on the German highway. It is called Autobahn and it is one of the very few places in the world where there is no speed limit. For someone not used to this it is quite a frightening experience to travel at 130 mph.  For the 2nd track, Sarah was very lucky that during lockdown the Diablo Regional Arts Association in Walnut Creek, CA commissioned her to create a 60-minute video extravaganza with the theme MUSIC CONNECTS OUR WORLD. Her idea was to create ten cross-genre video clips that would include musicians from all corners of the world and put the videos together with announcements so they become like a concert. The stylistic reach was from Bossa Nova to Tango, from Bebop to Choral Music. And there was this one song in Sarah's drawer that sounded a bit like pop music called; WAITING HERE FOR YOU. She decided to record it For the 3rd track, Sarah celebrated the magic of Christmas! Joy is in the air, everybody's in good cheer and you can hear carols everywhere. The outside is covered in snow, but it is warm by the fireside. Romance is at your heart, while you sit with your loved-ones under the Christmas tree. These are images that Sarah created in this original composition called ‘You, Me & the Christmas Tree'. It captures the spirit of Christmas. It's a song about love and being together. Sarah admits that only when she moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music did she grasp the full meaning of those legendary jazzy Christmas songs. 90.5WVUM - Miami, Philip Capuzzi interviewed Sarah about all 3 recordings. Listen to the attached file.

When the corona virus hit in early March Sarah McKenzie was just on tour in France and all her shows got cancelled. At the same time the US government implemented a travel ban for everyone who was travelling from the Schengen territory so Sarah was unable to return to her home in Los Angeles immediately. 'In order not to get stuck during lockdown in a big city I rented an old school house in the very South of England, in Hastings at the English Channel coast. It was a very romantic place from the 17th century with vines on the outside and a large garden with roses and lots of other flowers and old, very stylish furniture on the inside and an old piano that I would play every day.

The song SCHNELLER! was inspired by drives on the German highway. It is called Autobahn and it is one of the very few places in the world where there is no speed limit. For someone not used to this it is quite a frightening experience to travel at 130 mph. So once I had picked my finger nails out of the dashboard I thought this experience needs a song. I then had to find the right musicians for it. With Geoff Gascoyne (bass) and Donald Edwards (drums) I have a long lasting working relationship already, but who could play those trumpets' I was very lucky to then come across Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra's Kenny Rampton, who is a fantastic trumpet player and who put in the extra miles that it needed to make this song special. I hope you'll like it.' Sarah McKenzie is the final 'Blues In the Night Podcast' guest of 2020. The Jazz composer, pianist, and vocalist talks about her new series of singles, including; Schneller! She also discusses what it was like recording in isolation from different countries during an international pandemic.   Listen

The magic of Christmas ! Despite the context. Outside it's covered in snow, but it's nice by the fireside. Romance awaits you as you sit with your loved ones under the Christmas tree. These are the images Sarah McKenzie slips into this original song called You, Me & The Christmas Tree. She captures the spirit of Christmas. It's a song about love and the happiness of being together. Sarah admits that it wasn't until she moved to Boston to study at Berklee College of Music that she grasped the full significance of these legendary jazzy Christmas carols. In her home country, Australia, she never had a "white Christmas", so "many of these iconic songs only really started to make sense to me after experiencing winter on the east coast of the United States with tons of snow and cold temperatures, but also after seeing the fir trees of Christmas and the illuminated Christmas markets, the smell of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts on a sidewalk . I immediately fell in love with this season of the year and have always wanted to put those impressions into a song .  READ THE FULL france musique REVIEW

Don, host oif 'The Smooth Side' from 88.5KKRN - Round Mountain CA writes.......Jazz singer, pianist, composer, and international star Sarah McKenzie is from Australia. Many of you know that she stopped by our Redding studio just over one and one-half years ago for a wonderful interview on this program. Recently she called me from Los Angeles to do a follow up interview on the phone which will be broadcast the second week of January. After we finished talking music my last question simply inquired whether she had been able to return home to visit family during the pandemic. As Sarah is so capable of doing, she simply painted a picture for us of exactly how Australia is dealing with the crisis. As you will see as I play this segment of the interview near the beginning of this week's program, that while Australia is a democratic society, restrictions on its citizens during this pandemic were much more severe. It is not my position to know whether personal freedoms or safety of citizens is more important. I simply wanted to pass along information gleaned from this interview about a country of 25 and one-half million people that has only suffered 908 deaths from COVID. Thanks for bearing with me. Stay safe! I wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas and much happiness in the holiday season. This week after Sarah's interview segment, I will continue to play for you a mix of a wide variety of our favorite Christmas music. Thank you for your support of this program and KKRN.       SEE 88.5KKRN PAGE

There's a brilliant story behind pianist and composer Sarah McKenzie's latest compositions, produced in lockdown in the UK, while Sarah was stranded at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The song SCHNELLER! was inspired by drives on the German highway, the Autobahn. It is one of the very few places in the world where there is no speed limit. For someone not used to this it is quite a frightening experience to travel at 130 mph.  The fantastic 'Schneller!' has four trumpets interweaving, performed by the magical Kenny Rampton and then the sublime 'Waiting Here For You' features more outstanding musicians from around the world. Hear Sarah tell the story of those recordings and more. Harmonious World Podcast host Hilary Robertson interviews Sarah McKenzie. LISTEN       To find out more about Sarah and her latest releases

Pianist/singer/songwriter, Sarah McKenzie, like so many of her fellow Australians, felt she'd have to leave her beloved country to pursue her dreams, which is exactly what she's done, living in Paris and London, then moving on to Boston to study at the Berklee College of music, and now settling in Los Angeles. Sarah speaks of her experiences with the passion and appreciation of a poet and channels it all into her songwriting, which is featured on her newest CD, Secrets of My Heart.

Vocalist and songwriter Sarah McKenzie plays piano with Pierre Boussaguet/b, Dan Wilson/g, Donald Edwards/dr and a collection of guests on percussion, strings and woodwinds on summery mix of originals and covers. Her phrasing is warm and clear, cozy with her  samba'd "De Nada" teamed with Danilo Caymmi's flute, and breezy "Till The Endo of Time" with strings and sax in support. A pair of bopping and bluesy work with Boussaguet maxes for some swinging "I Fell In Love With You" and "It's All About Love" with her voice intimate with Wilson on her intro to "My True Love Is You." She shows her piano chops on a Gershwin Medley, while her alacrity is never in doubt on a clever take of the James Bond turned indie piece "You Only Live Twice." Bubbling with ideas.

She delivers her interpretation of the Stanley Styne/Donald Kahn classic "A Beautiful Friendship" and shows her bluesy side, with scintillating guitar from Wilson, on Dinah Washington's "Come on Home."

Australia-born singer Sarah McKenzie is an emerging star with a timeless voice and a spellbinding way with original lyrics, two skills that helped her secure a coveted finalist spot in the 2014 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. Since then, the Berklee-educated singer has gone on to have a fruitful career in Europe. She's even recorded a handful of albums on the illustrious French jazz label Impulse!, including 2017's Paris in the Rain, which opened opportunities for her to perform around the world in such places as Brazil, Korea, Japan and the United States. "Traveling was something that I really had to adjust to," says McKenzie. "In the beginning, it is very exciting. I often describe it as going into a magical world; it's stepping off reality and going into this world that's so unreal. Then you come home, and all of that activity stops. It's been a world of extremes." McKenzie's meditations on those extremes - the thrill of travel versus the comfort of home, the freedom of road life versus the security of family - have now resulted in a new album, Secrets of My Heart, which was released on Impulse! on March 29. With its mix of 20th-century jazz standards and sterling original compositions, the album is McKenzie's most personal musical statement to date, projecting an alluring sense of confidence, a worldly outlook and a clear-eyed dedication to her artistic vision.

Phrasé impeccable, precise and delicate voice, Sarah McKenzie , also pianist, enchants from the first song of his new album, Secrets of my Heart. From You Only Live Twice, created for the movie of the same name of the adventures of James Bond by Nancy Sinatra, she makes a moment of soft and light reverie. A full success that confirms the rest of the album, whether on the own compositions of the singer and pianist ( You and the Music, Till the End of Time ...) or on a few occasions, including a superb Come on Home , from Dinah Washington, in a blues casting. By classical jazz, with elements of Brazilian music, on slow tempo or medium mainly, she affirms her vocal expressiveness. With top-notch musicians, including bassist Pierre Boussaguet, guitarist Dan Wilson and drummer Donald Edwards, who perform wonderfully, especially in the instrumental medley of compositions by the Gershwin brothers, which brings this subtle finale to a close. album.  - Sylvain Siclier SEE ALL Le Monde REVIEWS p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #4d4d4d}

McKenzie penned the lion's share of Secrets of My Heart's 12 songs, sterling compositions that will surely become jazz standards in the 21st century. "I love writing lyrics. I think I'm very specific with my lyrics. I like Johnny Mercer, Sammy Kahn, Irving Berlin, and Cole Porter," says McKenzie before explaining that she now begins with the melody when composing. "Initially, I wrote songs together – the lyrics and melody. But when I pulled them apart, I realisedthat my melodies weren't as strong as I thought they were in my head. I think for me, I always want to have a flow with the words or something witty; and I know how it should sound." In support of this album release McKenzie has been travelling up the West Coast visiting radio stations along the way. On Wednesday April 10th Sarah visited with 90.7KBOO - Portland and with afternoon host Rita Rega. Listen to the attached interview.

I think I'm very specific with my lyrics. I like Johnny Mercer, Sammy Kahn, Irving Berlin, and Cole Porter," says McKenzie before explaining that she now begins with the melody when composing. "Initially, I wrote songs together – the lyrics and melody. But when I pulled them apart, I realisedthat my melodies weren't as strong as I thought they were in my head. I think for me, I always want to have a flow with the words or something witty; and I know how it should sound." In support of this album release McKenzie has been travelling up the West Coast visiting radio stations along the way. Her first stop was at Jazz88.3KSDS - San Diego with afternoon host Claudia Russell. Listen to the attached interview.

The latest album "Secrets of My Heart" (available from March 29, 2019) by the 31-year-old singer, pianist and composer is the follow-up to the successful album "Paris in the Rain". It was recorded in New York with the help of longtime producer Chon Lim. The album begins with "You Only Live Twice", a personal interpretation of James Bond Megahit by John Barry and Leslie Bricusses. In the title song "Secrets of My Heart", McKenzie describes her inner unrest by separating from her family and home. Exhilarating piano sounds are in "I Fell in Love with You", accompanied by Dan Wilson with the guitar. The songs "Till the End of Time" and "De Nada" were written in Rio de Janeiro and reflect McKenzie's passion for Brazilian music. The piece "You Must Believe in Spring" was written by the late composer Michel Legrand in 2019. The impressionistic harmonic language combined with the profound lyrics creates goose bumps.

Never underestimate the power of a first impression. For Australian jazz pianist and vocalist Sarah McKenzie, what started as a workshop for underprivileged East Bay kids led to a major commission that heralds her return to the United States as a bright new star. On Friday, Sept. 14, Walnut Creek's Lesher Center for the Arts presents the premiere of McKenzie's 13-piece song cycle San Francisco - Paris of the West, a work commissioned by the Diablo Regional Arts Association (DRAA). Her all-star octet includes the three co-leaders of the acclaimed Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra - bassist John Clayton, saxophonist Jeff Clayton, and drummer Jeff Hamilton. "It's definitely my most ambitious work to date," says McKenzie, 31, whose 2017 album Paris in the Rain (Impulse!) celebrates the city where she was based for much of 2015–2016. "I always write my own tunes, but on my albums I only include three or four originals. This is the first time I've written all the songs for a project, all the lyrics and arrangements."

Headlining a Monday night show at New York's Blue Note, the blond-haired, blue-eyed singer-pianist took the stage with her all-male quartet. With no chit-chat, and just a nod and smile at the audience, she launched into "You And The Music," a newly minted original. Four more of her own tunes-she writes both music and lyrics-would follow, before she played her first standard of the show, Jerome Kern's "The Way You Look Tonight." The set conveyed Sarah McKenzie's priorities as an artist, reinforced during an interview a few days later at her Manhattan hotel: Although she sings and plays with swinging assurance, the thing that she's counting on to distinguish herself is her songwriting.  Sarah McKenzie's new work, San Francisco–Paris Of The West, will have its world premiere at the Bay Area's Lesher Center for the Arts on Sept. 14.

The Lesher Center for the Arts - located in the historic downtown section of Walnut Creek, California - has been presenting leading-edge programming within all arts disciplines, including the American jazz tradition, for almost three decades. This year's Jazz at the Lesher Center 2018 Concert Series, presented by the Diablo Regional Arts Association for the seventh year in a row, will run on Saturday evenings from July 28 through September 14. On September 14, the series will conclude with the world premiere of vocalist-pianist Sarah McKenzie's San Francisco - Paris of the West, a 13-song suite of newly composed material commissioned by Jazz at the Lesher Center. The concert commemorates the enduring legacy of San Francisco's oldest department store, City of Paris, through a collective of narratives set to 1930s-inspired music. The songs were written in the tradition of the Great American Songbook, and promise to bring to life the wondrous stories of the store's founders, Felix and Emile Verdier, who voyaged aboard the "Ville du Paris" ship from France to San Francisco on a quest to open a store celebrating French culture. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #606060} p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #606060; min-height: 14.0px} READ THE FULL JAZZIZ ARTICLE

The Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek (CA) - located in the bay area just East of San Francisco - has awarded singer, pianist and composer SARAH McKENZIE with a highly paid composition commission to compose a full concert length work based on the theme "San Francisco - Paris of the West". The work will get premiered at the Lesher Center on September 14, 2018 with an all-star line-up put together especially for this event. During much of its past San Francisco has been referred to (among others) as "Paris of the West". This was based on cultural influence, but also architecture of key buildings around the city. Sarah´s knack for everything French is well documented in her last two albums ("Paris in the Rain" and "We could be Lovers"), and as a composer in the style of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin or Rogers & Hart she has had a number of hit tunes already ("Quoi, Quoi, Quoi", "Paris in the Rain", "We Could Be Lovers", "One Jealous Moon", "Don´t Tempt Me"). As a Berklee College of Music student Sarah has lead a workshop at the Lesher Center for the Arts in 2014 and impressed the directors to entrust her with this commission, which is the first of its kind for the Lesher Center for the Arts.  Sarah records for the Impulse! (Universal) label and is signed to Universal Music Publishing in France. She just recently performed to 7.1 million people on the "Encontro com Fátima Bernardes" television show in Brazil and performed at the world-renown Montreux Jazz Festival this summer.

After enchanting jazz fans with her 2015 Impulse! Records debut, We Could Be Lovers, Sarah McKenzie returns with the sensational follow-up, Paris in the Rain. Like before, the 28-year-old, Melbourne, Australia-born singer, pianist, composer and arranger teams with the acclaimed Brian Bacchus – who has produced classics for such stars as Norah Jones, Lizz Wright, and Gregory Porter – to deliver a gripping program of jazz classics and originals – all of which present McKenzie's incredible musicality in glamorous glory. McKenzie moved to Paris last year after graduating from Boston's Berklee College of Music. The album's snazzy title track is her love letter to the City of Light. The fanciful lyrics find her alternating effortlessly between French and English as she rejoices in the city's opulent offerings. "I'm really in love with Paris. It's a really amazing city. It's so beautiful with so much to offer in terms of culture, food and style. I wanted to write a song that captures all of Paris' beauty, magic and spirit." Paris in the Rain was selected for this week's anima Jazz playlist. CLICK HERE TO VIEW

Born in Australia, schooled at Berklee and recently moved to Paris, pianist-singer-songwriter and arranger Sarah McKenzie will delight listeners on this new release, her second for Impulse! Records. The backing musicians include vibraphonist Warren Wolf, guitarist Mark Whitfield, bassist Reuben Rogers, drummer Gregory Hutchinson, trumpeter Dominick Farinacci, flutist Jamie Baum, alto saxophonist Scott Robinson, tenor saxophonist Ralph Moore, and guitarist Romero Lubambo in various combinations. While the press materials suggest this album be viewed as sort of a travelogue with performances including her original title track, Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh's "When in Rome," and her closing "Road Chops," the pleasures of this recording do not depend on such thematic considerations.
