Sarah Clausen is a saxophonist, composer and educator based in Chicago. Utilizing space, unique melodic content, and diverse textures, Sarah has developed an approach to improvisation and composition that is forward moving, and inspired by many musical traditions.

With bassist Katie Ernst and drummer Lily Finnegan, Sarah Clausen’s original compositions weave driving rhythms and clever counterpoint with innovative improvisational sections.

Every Wednesday at the Relax Attack Jazz Series, we present Chicago’s top jazz artists in a lively atmosphere, full of cocktail-shaking and spirited conversation.
