I never thought I'd hear a singer with the range, musicality and command of tone and timbre that was Sarah at her best, but now I have.” -JazzTimes “Sharón Clark’s impeccable scat singing, phrasing and ability to improvise have made her one of the most popular American jazz vocalists in Russia.” -Moscow Times Ms. Clark has made many international tours, from Europe to Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Russia, where she has developed a major following.
