« She is truly a great new voice for Jazz » : this is what Quincy Jones said about Sarah Lancman when she received the 1st Prize of the International Competition of the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2012. Sarah Lancman is a French vocalist, pianist and songwriter based in Paris. Starting at the tender age of seven, she began classical piano studies at the Conservatoire du Centre in Paris. Many years later, whilst she was completing her Bachelor's degree in composition, jazz piano and singin at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne (HEMU), she also won First Prize in the International Shure Voice Competition in Montreux (Switzerland) in 2012, chaired that year by Quincy Jones. Sarah has toured in her home country of France and Turkey many times and has performed in other European countries such as Switzerland and Spain. In 2016, she was invited by The Jazz Foundation of America to perform in New York as one of three “Rising Stars” from being a prior Montreux Jazz Festival winner.
