“Wright, who more or less emerged as a professional singer after she debuted with a 2002 series of tribute concerts to Billie Holiday, continues to demonstrate exquisite taste,” states ALL ABOUT JAZZ. “Freedom & Surrender’ presents Ms. Wright as the substantial talent she is and in the warm, stylish spotlight she deserves,” says the WALL STREET JOURNAL (2015 Album Review of ‘Freedom & Surrender’). “Wright translates with phenomenal fluency between inner awareness and outward demonstration, individual seeking and conscious communion, ecstasy and empathy,” says NPR (2017 Album Review of ‘Grace’). “A wonderfully attentive audience, and an irresistible communion between singer and band, it’s the most transporting and beautiful album I’ve heard this year,” raves JAZZWISE (2018 Album Review of ‘Holding Space’).
Renowned Soulful & Captivating Vocalist LIZZ WRIGHT is known for her mesmerizing voice that effortlessly blends Jazz, Gospel, and R&B influences into a unique musical tapestry. Through an inimitable voice the NEW YORK TIMES touts as, "a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather," Wright sings with a soaring reflection of America. At the age of 22, Wright made a name for herself as a vocalist with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday, where her poised performance stole the show. At 23, her debut album 'Salt' hit #2 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz Chart. Her subsequent albums ('Dreaming Wide Awake', 'The Orchard', 'Fellowship', 'Freedom & Surrender') continued to top the charts with 'Dreaming Wide Awake' peaking at #1. In 2022, Lizz released the album 'Holding Space', a brilliant live album capturing a Berlin, Germany concert in 2018. "Spellbinding jazz of soulful intimacy..." raves THE GUARDIAN.
