“säje is blazing a new trail for female composers and performers in the jazz world”
-- Micah Hendler, Forbes
“...[säje is] taking the vocal jazz ensemble into the 21st century.”
-- Abe Beeson, KNKX/NPR
“...transcendent music.”
-- DownBeat Magazine
While it may come as a surprise to hear that the newly-formed vocal super-group, säje (rhymes with beige), received a GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals” for their first original composition “Desert Song”, a John Lennon Songwriting Contest Grand Prize Award for their second composition “Wisteria”, and a Jazz Journalists Association Award nomination for “Best Vocal Group”, the world continues to eagerly await the debut album from this transcendent and genre-defining group.
It is through their four previously released singles, ardent social media/patreon following, and multiple self-produced music videos that this all-female compositional/vocal collective has demonstrated their devotion to thoughtful, sophisticated, and heartfelt covers and original compositions, understandably garnering critical acclaim and a wide-spread and passionate fan base.
However it is with this first single from their highly-anticipated, self-produced debut album that listeners get a sneak peek into the sounds and energy that they can expect from the record itself (expected Spring 2023). “As This Moment Slips Away” (due September 13th, 2022) in collaboration with three-time GRAMMY® winning drummer Terri Lyne Carrington allows us to clearly see that säje has positioned themselves as an empowered, genre-defining and socially conscious powerhouse ensemble, surpassing any expectations of what one might typically associate with a vocal collective.
In this performance we hear more than just lush harmonies, powerhouse vocals, complex contrapuntal lines, or symbiosis with their all-star band. More than just a deep relationship with the social implications of this piece, and mastery of their craft. We can hear, front and center, that säje is a group to be watched -- if their newest single is only a mouth-watering snapshot of what’s to come.
