“We’ve spent the last decade and more writing together, arranging, recording, making silly videos essentially growing up together, personally and musically.” Nelson, in addition to citing his close rapport with Gazarek, sees Dream in the Blue as “a nice snapshot of our musical tastes in general - decidedly welcoming and accessible for a wide variety of audiences.” “I remember feeling so incredibly comfortable with Josh that I held on tight and never looked back,” says Gazarek, recalling their very first gig in LA. Gazarek and Nelson recorded their new album Dream in the Blue (funded exclusively through the crowd-sourcing website ) as a tribute to their extraordinary partnership. But over the past 18 months, this Los Angeles-based pair has taken their collaboration to a new level, touring extensively as a duo and developing a diverse repertoire that showcases their combined artistic maturation. It’s no mere happenstance that Nelson played as a band member on all four of Gazarek’s albums, and she, in turn, sang on two of Nelson’s own recording projects. ![]() Since 2002, vocalist Sara Gazarek and pianist Josh Nelson have nurtured an uncommonly strong musical bond. ![]() “Dream in the Blue is this year’s best album.” - Andrew Hamlin, The Stranger ".One of the best modern day piano-voice matches in action" - Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz
