Sara Decker – Expand

With Expand, jazz vocalist and composer Sara Decker brings melodic songwriting into conversation with the openness of jazz. Voice, trumpet, vibraphone, bass and drums form a flexible ensemble sound, creating space for personal stories and instrumental dialogue. The programme moves between intimate exchanges and the full sound of the quintet.

The album Expand was released by Unit Records in 2024. In 2026 Decker presented the project in the German Jazz Expo showcase programme at jazzahead! in Bremen. A Fulbright scholar and prizewinner at the Shure Montreux Jazz Voice Competition, she draws on musical experiences from Germany and New York.
