Jarrett Cherner -piano/compositions

As accomplished composers and leaders in their own right, vocalist Sarah Elizabeth Charles and pianist Jarrett Cherner bring a wealth of artistic resources to their first release as a duo, Tone. The album’s eight songs — finely wrought, emotive, richly melodic — were co-written over a span of four years, and although Charles and Cherner began recording before the Covid-19 crisis, they were finally able to finish the project in quarantine in their Brooklyn home. Fittingly, the sound of this duo is intimate and warm, yet its dynamic range is large. Cherner’s expansive piano harmonies, Charles’ intricate multi-tracked vocal parts and subtly placed echoes and effects: these elements grow to fill the sonic space, as the songs touch on transcendent themes of selfless love and living with purpose and intention.
