Aurora. Sara Serpa / Ran Blake. Personnel: Ran Blake (p), Sara Serpa (v), Also Available on iTunes. € 8.90. Add to cart. Buy digital Album. At a time when so many singers and accompanists play it safe, it’s refreshing to hear vocalist Sara Serpa and pianist Ran Blake do something different—maybe even risky—with the standard jazz song repertoire.
Their second album together, Aurora (November 1st 2012, Clean Feed), gives listeners a deeper and more intimate view of one of the most remarkable partnerships in jazz. Recorded live in concert at Lisbon’s Auditório da Culturgest and at private session at the theater the day before, the music covers a wide range.
Few pianists have as broad and deep a knowledge of jazz song repertoire as Ran Blake. So it’s no surprise that there are some rarely played gems heard on Aurora. Serpa has a keen understanding of melody and lyrics and made very personal selections as well.
Ran Blake (Springfield, 10 aprile 1935) è un pianista e compositore statunitense.

Rating: ★★★. Author: Selwyn Harris. View record and artist details. The Portuguese New York-based Serpa's eerily oblique but also tenderly lyrical reading of some Broadway/film songs is on the same wavelength as the maverick pianist Ran Blake, her duo partner.
