Her new Scope project \u003cem\u003eBlank Canvas\u003c\/em\u003e captures Charles in a very different place: reflective, self-possessed, and reaching out with a voice that’s as beautiful as it is arresting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith guitarist Jordan Peters joining her longtime bandmates—pianist\/keyboardist Jesse Elder, bassist Burniss Earl Travis II, and drummer John Davis—Charles opens the album reciting “Guest House,” a Rumi poem (via Coleman Barks) that speaks of mortal arrivals and departures. Sonically the album is all over the map, but Charles is a steady guide. The first two songs, “Borders” and “Blank Canvas,” are fierce, arena-sized ballads with rock production. After the stormy catharsis Charles gazes inward, leading to the gauzy ballad “Malba.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album’s emotional centerpiece is a taut, spacious deconstruction of Max Roach\/Oscar Brown Jr.’s famously unfinished \u003cem\u003eWe Insist!\u003c\/em\u003e anthem “Freedom Day,” which adds Adjuah into the mix on his self-designed Adjuah Bow. Plucking the string instrument, he also contributes to Charles’ brief, aching evocation of her lost sibling “Brother,” which she co-wrote with Adjuah. Thematically and texturally, the concluding four tracks almost feel like a self-contained suite, shimmering with sharp observations and self-revelations, starting with her sympathetic portrait of a relationship in extremis, “Out Loud.” The atmospheric “Blind Emotions” evokes turmoil with lapidary vocal tracks, while “BE the Solution” offers a path toward inner peace. Closing with “The Message,” a lithe incantation, Charles sounds renewed, revived, and ready for her next adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Jazztimes Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"cls-video-container-rbsZxzVT\" class=\"adthrive\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-auto-injected-player-container adthrive-collapse-player\" id=\"adthrive-auto-injected-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"raptive-player-position\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-without-wrapper-text raptive-player-container raptive-player-reset raptive-player-ad-loading\" data-player-id=\"uC3GtjIa\" data-name=\"Video_Collapse_Autoplay_SoundOff\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-ad-controls adthrive-player-ad-controls-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-ad-controls-play\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-icon adthrive-player-icon-pause\" id=\"adthrive-player-icon-pause-auto-injected\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003csvg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003crect x=\"2.29\" height=\"18\" width=\"5\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003crect x=\"10.71\" height=\"18\" width=\"5\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-ad-controls-volume-container adthrive-player-ad-controls-volume-container-with-bar adthrive-player-ad-controls-volume-container-with-slider\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-ad-controls-volume\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"adthrive-player-icon adthrive-player-icon-volume adthrive-player-icon-volume-muted\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\u003csvg width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 18\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M16.45,9.02c0,1.64-0.57,2.97-1.33,4.03l1.2,1.15C17.29,12.94,18,11.26,18,9.04c0-6.95-6.96-8.7-6.96-8.7v1.32C11.04,1.66,16.45,3.96,16.45,9.02z\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M13.27,14.94c-1.18,0.91-2.23,1.33-2.23,1.33v1.44c0,0,1.68-0.42,3.39-1.67L13.27,14.94z\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003crect x=\"8.15\" height=\"22.61\" width=\"1.71\" fill=\"white\" y=\"-2.28\" transform=\"matrix(0.6917 -0.7222 0.7222 0.6917 -3.7421 9.2833)\"\u003e\u003c\/rect\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M12.98,11c0.31-0.55,0.52-1.2,0.52-1.98c0-2.95-2.99-4.24-2.99-4.24v3.86L12.98,11z\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10.52,12.3v0.86c0,0,0.24-0.1,0.58-0.3L10.52,12.3z\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpolygon points=\"9.21,7.4 9.24,0.74 5.82,4.15\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/polygon\u003e\u003cpolygon points=\"3.69,5.77 0.06,5.77 0,12.07 4.14,12.07 9.18,17.11 9.2,11.04\" fill=\"white\"\u003e\u003c\/polygon\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"loove labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50935043227955,"sku":"MSC_BLNK_LVLB_1766","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8032\/3123\/files\/a1081134396_10.jpg?v=1764542829"},{"product_id":"inner-dialogue","title":"Inner Dialogue","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn her 2012 debut EP, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRed\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, vocalist Sarah Elizabeth Charles delivered an impassioned blend of jazz, neo-soul, r\u0026amp;b and world music that revealed an emerging artist with a nuanced delivery and a poetic ear.

The resulting album proves why she is one of today’s most dynamic young vocalists. Given her impressive career, this should hardly come as a surprise. A graduate of The New School, Charles has worked and studied with artists such as George Cables, Geri Allen, Nicholas Payton, Sheila Jordan, Jimmy Owens and Carmen Lundy. She is also an active educator, working as a teaching artist with Carnegie Hall’s Musical Connections program and giving private lessons in New York City and at Larchmont Music Academy. In addition to teaching, she is currently developing an early childhood music education program with Rise2Shine, a non-profit organization based in Haiti, a country that has long served as a source of inspiration for Charles, whose father is from Port-au-Prince. Her new album features two arrangements of Haitian folk melodies—“Yo-Yo” and “Choucoune”—and an original composition called “Haitian Sunrise.” On this track, Charles’ lyrics are quietly commanding. “Harmony has found me\/Time moving slow,” she sings, and the music pauses as if holding its breath. Other tracks find her voice soaring. On “Breathe,” featuring guest trumpeter and co-producer Christian Scott, she holds long, powerful notes over a churning rock groove. On her artful arrangement of Miles Davis’ “Nardis,” she imbues the haunting melody with passion and poignancy. Accompanying musicians Jesse Elder (piano), Burniss Earl Travis II (bass) and John Davis (drums) are consummate collaborators, lifting Charles’ pure, unaffected vocals to transcendent heights.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Downbeat Reviews\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"loove labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50935049290035,"sku":"MSC_NNRD_LVLB_1767","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8032\/3123\/files\/a0526475761_10.jpg?v=1764542792"},{"product_id":"free-of-form","title":"Free Of Form","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFree Of Form\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003eis Sarah Elizabeth Charles’ third release as a leader and her second collaboration with co-producer and trumpeter Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah.

Somehow, Charles and Scott are “freer” together, as both artists and collaborators, than perhaps they have been on their own previous leader efforts.

Against the unwavering rhythmic backdrop, notably Davis’ steady backbeat, this in part brings out the most from Scott’s untethered horn and from the abundant layers of Charles’ vocals with effects. The potent immediacy and charge you get after hearing the first six tracks or so consecutively is not only attributed to its production value and socially relevant commentary, but, more importantly, a testament to how Charles has stayed true to the lessons she learned so long ago.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- Downbeat Review\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"loove labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50935062266163,"sku":"MSC_FRFF_LVLB_1768","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/8032\/3123\/files\/a1054319933_16_fd6e71e3-710b-4a1a-89a4-c1e07288d26e.jpg?v=1764700205"},{"product_id":"maquishti","title":"Maquishti","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"A vibraphonist to watch out for...\" according to the New York City Jazz Record.
