사라 가자렉의 확고하고 개성있는 카리스마와 다채로움이 공존하는 작은 선물!
올해로 25살의 어린 나이의 재즈 싱어. 하지만 그녀에게 따라붙는 수식어는 화려하기 그지없었다. 데뷔앨범 발표 당시에만 해도 "24세의 시애틀 태생의 컨템포러리 여성 재즈보컬계의 신데렐라"!
" 노라 존스를 방불케하는 신세대 디바"! 등 온갖 카피문구들이 뒤를 이었고, 그를 증명하듯 Ella Fitzgerald (엘라 피츠제랄드) 추모 보컬 경연대회에서 최연소 나이로 최우수상 수상과 미국 최고 관록의 재즈 전문지 Down Beat에서 주최한 2003년 DownBeat Magazine Student Music Award에서 심사위원 만장일치 최우수 대학생 재즈 보컬리스트 선정, L.A Times, New York Times, JazzTimes, All About JAZZ, ADLIB등 유수의 각종 언론매체의 극찬 리뷰, 빌보드 재즈앨범 차트 10위에 랭크되는 등 그 누구보다 화려하고 분주하게 재즈 보컬 계보에 발을 들여놓았다. 또한 신인으로서는 상상하기 어려운 대선배 Diane Schuur(다이안 슈어), Oleta Adams(올레타 아담스), 콩코드 재즈를 대표하는 중견 여성 재즈 보컬리스트 Karrin Allyson(카린 앨리슨)등과 함께 동행하는 파격적인 영광을 누렸다. 급기야 음반 산업의 메카인 이웃 일본에서도 재빨리 그녀를 초청하여 2006년 3월에는 도쿄에 위치한 코튼 클럽 (Cotton Club)과 2006년 11월에는 오사카, 나고야, 도쿄, 요코하마 (Blue Note, Cotton Club, Motion Blue Yokohama)에서 두 차례의 공연을 가짐으로써 확고한 인기몰이와 그녀의 가능성을 각인시켰다. 어느새 벌써 올해 5월 31일~ 6월 2일에도 한차례 더 일본을 방문하여 새 앨범에 실린 멋진 곡들을 소개하고 지나가버렸다.
고작 정식 데뷔 앨범만 발표한 신인임에 불구하고 컬버 시티 (미국 California주 서남부, Los Angeles 서쪽의 도시)에 있는 JAZZ BAKERY에서 가진 실황을 작년 하반기에 과감히 발표하며, 그녀의 진정한 실력을 앨범에 담아 검증받고 숨가쁜 일정을 소화해내며 걸어왔던 그녀가 2년만에 새로운 곡들로 우리곁에 다시 찾아왔다.
재즈 타임스에서는 사라 가자렉을 노라 존스(Norah Jones)와 다이아나 크롤(Diana Krall)을 이어주는 중간지점에 있다고 평론을 했는데, 그것은 어린 나이로 그 실력을 인정받은 것은 노라 존스에 가깝고 그 타고난 기질은 다이아나 크롤에 가깝다고 볼 수 있겠다. 그리고 사라 가자렉 그녀에게 유일한 매력적인 특색에는 무언가가 더 있는데 그것은 늘 함께 호흡을 맞춰온 웨스트 코스트 지역에서 유명세를 얻고 있는 28세의 젊은 작곡가겸 재즈 피아니스트 Josh Nelson (첫 솔로작 "Let It Go"을 발표를 목전에 두고있다), Erick Kertes (베이스), Matt Slocum (드럼)의 탄탄한 트리오 밴드가 있고, 헌신적으로 든든한 뒷받침과 푸싱을 해주고 있는 Stiletto Entertainment (Barry Manilow, Fleetwood Mac, Paula Abdul, Richard Marx, Sophie B. Hawkins, Deborah Cox, Donna Summer등이 소속되어 있다.)매니지먼트가 따라 붙고있다.또한 소속사인 Native Language Music은 Sounden Studios와 흡수 합병함으로써 소속 아티스트의 음반 제작 과정에 더욱 자유로운 녹음과 보다 더 양질의 음원들을 구현할 수 있는 막강한 전력을 갖추게 되었다. 좋은 음악을 만들려는 아티스트들에겐 더없이 좋은 조건이 아닐 수가 없다.
총13 곡(한국반 보너스곡 제외)으로 구성된 본작은 전작에비해 파격적인 곡들을 선사하고 있는데, 예컨데 레너드 코헨(Leonard Cohen)의 ’Hallaelujah’, 해리 코닉 주니어(Harry Connick Jr)의 ’I’ve Got A Great Idea’이라 할 수 있겠다. 앨범의 첫 장식을 이룬 ’Let’S Try This Again’은 Josh Nelson과 Sara Gazarek의 공동 작품인데, 사라 가자렉만의 맑고 부드러운 목소리에 다이아나 크롤 분위기 가득한 곡으로 무리없는 진행이 돋보인다.
뒤를이어 등장하는 ’Northern Lights’ 가을날 따스한 아침 햇살같은 목소리가 일품으로 이젠 확고한 자신만의 색체를 표출할 줄 아는 정점의 단계까지 이르렀다고 할 수 있겠다. 아쉽지만 지금 은퇴를 고려하고 있는 여성 밥 딜런으로 불리는 조니 미첼 (Joni Mitchell) 그녀의 명반 "Blue"에 수록되어 싱글 커트되었던 명곡 ’Carey’는 전작에서도 조니 미첼의 ’The Circle Game’곡을 커버했던 전력으로 알 수 있듯이 사라는 조니 미첼의 영향을 크게 받았음을 알 수 있다. 현악 바이올린으로 시작되는 폴 매카트니의 (Paul McCartney) ’Junk’ 이곡은 비틀즈가 해산을 선언한 1970년 4월 10일에 불과 일주일 뒤인 4월 17일에 발표한 폴 매카트니의 데뷔작 "McCartney" 수록곡인데, 발표 당시에 잘 알려지지 않았던 곡이었으나 1년 뒤인 1971년 존 덴버에의해 리메이크되어 국내에 잘 알려지게된 아이러니한 곡이다. 이곡에서 사라 가자렉의 따스한 보이싱과 함께 스트링 어렌지먼트가 만들어낸 화려하게 잘 짜맞춘 완벽한 배열을 맛 볼 수 있다. 밴드와의 화합이 돋보이는 조쉬 넬슨의 곡’Just Let Me Be’, 빌리 조엘(Billy Joel)의 ’And So It Goes’는 빌리 조엘이 89년에 발표한 "Storm Front"앨범의 마지막에 수록되었던 곡으로 허공을 향한 공허한 목소리를 지닌 빌리 조엘의 음성이 감미롭게 뒤바뀌어 들려오는 듯 하다. ’Dear Someone’는 길리언 웰치의 "Time (The Revelator)앨범에 수록된 곡을 커버 ....  ....

Fall asleep my fair lady
I can hear you walk for days
Filled me up with gods good gravy
All those years
The Northern Lights shine for us
The gates open to warn us
The stars acquire a feeling
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and heal me
Back when I ate all your peaches
Since then you've gone to roam
So far from miles to reach us
All alone
The Northern Lights shine for us
The gates open to warn us
The stars a choir of feeling
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and heal me
Fall asleep my fair lady
I can hear you walk for days
Filled me up with gods good gravy
All those years
The Northern Lights shine for us
The gates open to warn us
The stars a choir of feeling
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand
Reach out your hand and heal me

The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
You know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
It's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy
I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen
And my fancy French cologne
Oh Carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
But I like you
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe
I'll buy you a bottle of wine
We'll laugh and toast to nothing
And smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Oh Carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
But I like you
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
Maybe I'll go to Rome
And rent me a grand piano
And put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about fare-thee-wells now
The night is a starry dome
And they're playin' that scratchy rock & roll
Beneath the matalla moon
Oh Carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old daddy
But I like you fine
The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
You know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
But it's really not my home
Maybe it's been too long a time
Since I was scramblin' down in the streets
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
And that fancy French cologne
Oh Carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Down to the Mermaid Cafe
Have fun tonight
I said Oh you're a mean old daddy
But you're out of sight

Motor cars, handle bars, bicycles for two
Broken hearted jubilee
Parachutes, army boots, Sseeping bags for two
Sentimental jamboree
Buy, buy says the sign in the shop window
Why, why says the junk in the yard
Candlesticks, building bricks, something old and new
Memories for you and me
Buy, buy says the sign in the shop window
Why, why says the junk in the yard

Don't come knockin at my door
You keep on comin back for more
Wasting your time cause I ain't got none for you
Burned me again and that's nothing new
Those lies that you always told
Now they're getting really old
I can't believe that you still want more from me
You're making me crazy can't you see
Again with the same old stuff
Good thing that I'm feeling tough
Best you back away from me
Cause it's your turn to just let me be
Stop feeding me those worn out lines
What makes you think it'll work this time
You had your chance 3 chances ago
Now you're old news or didn't you know
You drove me up the wall
Then you never caught my fall
Wastin' your love cause I ain't got none for you
Burned me again and that's nothing new
Again with the same old stuff
Good thing that I'm feeling tough
Best you back away from me
Cause it's your turn to just let me be
I thought we were the perfect pair
Now it's true that I just don't care
Thought you'd go and make a fool outta me
I thought I knew you but now I see
There's only so much that I can take
Of all the trouble that you can make
Now you're telling me ya want me back,
Well listen up good ? you ain't getting jack!
Again with the same old stuff
Good thing that I'm feeling tough
Best you back away from me
Cause it's your turn to just let me be

I keep waiting for a song to come
and sing you back to me
I never felt so free as when I had you
Your rhythm was the best
that's touched the likes of me
I was really me when I had you
Give me back that old familiar feeling
That left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back that song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together
My radio still plays the songs you like to hear
As if you were here oh how I love you
I'll take the time and tune that station in real clear
Like when you were here oh I need you
Give me back that old familiar feeling
That left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back that song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together
Give me back that old familiar feeling
That left me feeling like I was someone
Give me back that song we sang in harmony
Just you and me singing together

In every heart, there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon, I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows

I've got a great idea
And wouldn't you like to know
You probably can't bear it
So I guess I'll have to share it
I thought of it a moment ago
It starts with your hand in mine
Next comes a little stroll
But You probably won't buy it
But I'm trying to keep it quiet
So please don't tell a soul
'Cause if you do
The world and you
Will think I'm crazy and give me medicine
They'll drag me away
And as I go youll hear me say
"I could have been a decent match for Edison!"
Ideas are few and far between
And good ideas are rarer still
So listen and be wise
Just forget the other guys
'Cause my ideas no good for three
My idea is you and me

I wanna go all over the world
And start living free.
I know that there's somebody who
Is waiting for me
I'll build a boat steady and true
As soon as it's done
I'm gonna sail along in a dream
Of my dear someone
One little star, smiling tonight
Knows where you are
Stay little star steady and bright
To guide me afar
Rush little wind over the deep
For now I've begun
Hurry and take me straight into the arms
Of my dear someone
Hurry and take me into the arms
Of my dear someone

I heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the lord
You don't really care for music, do ya
It goes like this: the 4th the 5th
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight over threw ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
Now you never show it to me, do ya
I remember when I moved in you
The holy dove she was movin' too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel so I tried to touch,
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah,
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

There's something about you
I want to be near you
Believe me when I say
That you are the one who
Makes me feel this way
I just wanna play
Music all night long
I'm singing you my song
The way that you move me
The way that you touch me
Your lips and your kisses
I want them cause they always
Make me feel this way
I just wanna play
Music all night long
I'm singing you my song
Feeling good everyday now
I'm on top of the world now
Got a spring in my step babe
Just knowing that you're mine babe
Everybody's looking
Because you're so good-looking
Believe me when I say
That you are the one who
Makes me feel this way
I just wanna play
Music all night long
I'm singing you my song
Music all night long
I'm singing you my song
Music all night long
I'm singing you my song
The way that you move me
The way that you grove me
The way that you reach me
The way that you teach me
Believe me when I say
It's you that makes me wanna play

Return to you, return to your life.
Come back to your past, come back to the time that went so fast.
The moon is quick, and chases us through the trees.
Think it knows you're here? I know it's glad you are here.
I search the sky, the stars could hold the answers,
But the sky may cry, and drench me with all the answers.
I think you're losing yourself, but I'll wait til you find yourself,
I'm not going anywhere without you.
I won't let you fall away, there's too much to throw away,
I don't know what I'd do, without you.
I see your smile, haven't seen it in a while.
I hear your voice inside my head, think of all the things you've said.
The sun is bright, blinds us from the truth of night.
I know you're here, I hope that you know I'm still here.
I search the sky, the stars could hold the answers,
But the sky may cry, and drench me with all the answers.
I think you're losing yourself, but I'll wait til you find yourself,
I'm not going anywhere without you.
I won't let you fall away, there's too much to throw away,
I don't know what I'd do, without you.
Sifting through the fog, I see the road clear up ahead,
And love is all around you, and I know you,
And you might take that road instead.
I think you're losing yourself, but I'll wait til you find yourself,
I'm not going anywhere without you.
I won't let you fall away, there's too much to throw away,
I don't know what I'd do, without you.
