Jazz concert by the Sarah Sharp Quintet at the iconic Congress Avenue basement club, The Elephant Room.
Sarah Sharp plays The Elephant Room on Thursday, September 3, at 6 PM. She'll be fronting her quintet, which for this set includes John Fremgen, Masumi Jones, Oliver Steck, and Mitch Watkins. It's a full band on stage, and they play sophisticated, swinging, emotionally rich jazz.
Sharp is one of Austin's elite vocalists, known for an intoxicating tone and a deep musicality that makes every song feel personal. Her singing style is soft-spoken, and the instrumentation stays quiet, creating a living-room, fireside closeness that keeps her far from the lounge-singer stereotypes of similarly jazz-influenced performers—a quality NPR Music's All Songs Considered has noted. It's that particular intimacy that works so well in a room like this.
