Sarah's latest album, “The Masquerade is Over” is a compilation of lyrically riveting tunes, frolicsome dance numbers, and daft, sappy ballads. The album draws inspiration from songs the group performs live on a regular basis, as well as some other distinct selections, brought out of the woodwork for this album.
Recorded in June 2023 and produced by Stewart Lerman, the album features Stefan Vasnier on piano, Aidan O’Donnell on bass, and Ben Cliness on drums. Some songs feature the trumpet of Charlie Caranicas, percussion from David Langois and guitar from Greg Ruggeiro.
Release date August 9, 2024
Sarah began working on her first album "Tulip or Turnip" in 2020, when most opportunities for performance in NYC disappeared. It is a collection of unlikely standards, and surprising interpretations that draw from her experience living in New York City — memories bejeweled with flowers, song and dance. Sarah’s delivery is a little bit Blossom, a little bit Billie, and she considers herself a newfangled jazz clown of her own time and place. The album is a sailboat ride around the harbor at dusk, it is a walk through the flower market at dawn. It's the magic in the madness!
The album was recorded in January 2021 at the Bunker studio in Brooklyn NY.

In 2022, Sarah got the opportunity to work on the hit series "The Marvelous Mrs Maisel"(Season 5), working with Billy Stritch at the piano. They recorded two songs for the show. Sarah was asked to return to the show for the season finale, but ended up not being written into the final episode after all. The episode was directed by Scott Ellis and writer/creator, Amy Sherman Paladino, who said that Sarah "Needs more on-screen time."
Sarah's first collaboration with Stephane Wrembel: Django New Orleans, the group and the recording, pays homage to the legendary guitarist and composer, Django Reinhardt, blending the traditional sounds of New Orleans, from swing to second lines, with the voices of Sinti jazz guitar that continue to fascinate music lovers around the world. Stephane Wrembel, one of the most highly regarded guitarists in the world specialized in the style of Reinhardt, is best known for his original compositions “Bistro Fada” (Midnight in Paris) and “ Big Brother ” (Vicki Cristina Barcelona).
Django New Orleans was recorded live in the studio at Windmill Agency Studios in Scranton, PA by Eric Ritter. Sarah sings on 7 out of 10 tracks with a 9 piece band.
