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 (Clean Feed), give 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. Some of it humorous, at other times it is imbued with a sense of tragedy or tender romance, but at all times it is daring. It's little wonder that All About Jazz critic Ken Dryden said of their debut release Camera Obscura (Inner Circle) "the magical blend of Blake's piano with Serpa's voice proves captivating."
