A little about Sara Caswell…
Sara Caswell is widely recognized as one of today’s foremost jazz violinists, celebrated for her lyricism and technical facility. A Grammy nominee, Caswell has been featured in DownBeat's critics and readers polls annually since 2013. Her artistry and unique sound prompted internationally renowned jazz educator David Baker to write, “Sara Caswell is a brilliant, world-class violinist . . . one of the very best of the present generation of emerging young jazz stars.”
Caswell has released three highly acclaimed albums under her own name, with the most recent being The Way to You (2023, Anzic Records). She has performed at prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall, the Village Vanguard, Birdland Jazz Club, Jazz at Lincoln Center, SFJAZZ, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Barbican Centre, and Blue Note (NYC and Tokyo). Her talents have also been showcased at numerous jazz festivals such as Newport, Montreal, Montreux, North Sea, Banlieues Bleues, and recently right here in the capital region at the 2024 Saratoga Jazz Festival. As a sideman she has worked with some of the most important voices in modern music including Brad Mehldau, and Esperanza Spalding.
