Karen Marguth & Friends CD Release

The Sound Room is aptly named. The focus is on the sound or the music. Unlike clubs where the performance may be peripheral to the experience, at the Sound Room the performance is the experience.  We are an all-ages listening room. We exist to present great music and promote jazz as an art form.The Sound Room is the home of Bay Area Jazz & Arts, a  501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on promoting the Arts.

The Sound Room

San Francisco Bay Area vocalist Karen Marguth is one of the most acclaimed vocal jazz artists to emerge in the 2000s. She has released five albums as a leader, two of which have been listed in DownBeat’s annual Best of the Year issue, and one which received a rare four-and-a-half stars.Named &quot;one of the finest American jazz vocalists&quot; by Jazz Times, she continues to quietly produce albums that receive international acclaim while holding down a day-job as an educator. She has served in public schools as a classroom teacher, an instructional coach for the arts and literacy, and as a consultant for the National Writing Project and the International Baccalaureate Organization.Join Karen &amp; Friends for a CD Release Event:Matt Funders - bassDan Feiszli - bassKelly Fasman - drumsJohn R Burr - pianoErik Jekabson - trumpetBased in the East Bay, vocalist Karen Marguth found her calling in jazz while living in Fresno, CA through the early 2000s. California&#x27;s Central Valley sustains a surprisingly thriving jazz community and it was there that Marguth earned national renown with her four jazz albums, featuring the tight circle of musicians she surrounded herself with. Her new album, Until, features her interaction with two Fresno groups, along with a third, representing her latest collaborators from the Bay Area. Though presenting three distinct ensembles on an array of material recorded over the last decade, the album is remarkably cohesive and brimming with emotional generosity. From the strutting arrangement of &quot;Comes Love,&quot; to the shimmering title tune from Paul Simon&#x27;s 1983 release, &quot;Hearts &amp; Bones,&quot; or the closing, intimate duo rendition of &quot;Days of Wine &amp; Roses,&quot; Marguth shows an uncanny ability to mine hidden gems that others miss, while creating a warm &amp; creative environment for her bandmates to thrive in. An artist who&#x27;s still stretching her wings, she adds another consistently captivating chapter to her discography with Until. Andy Gilbert
