Here For You Digital Album - Pre-Order

The fourth release on the Marsch Music label, "Here For You" features six brand-new originals, a lyricization of an instrumental tune by trumpeter Tommy Turrentine, and a beloved standard popularized by Sarah Vaughan.

A rising star in the Los Angeles jazz scene, Schafer's appeal lies in her ability to connect with lay audiences on an emotional level while curious harmonies and dancing world music influences please the educated jazz ear too. Her approachable and intimate performance style resonates with listeners who appreciate a more personal and heartfelt jazz experience.

"...leaves you wondering what she can't do."  - The New York City Jazz Record

"Schafer's awareness of when to embellish and when to pull on the reins stands out among the current crop of jazz singers all-too eager to show off their chops at the expense of communicating actual emotion." - Jefferson Public Radio​
