Lizz Wright Transforms the Beauty of the Visual Into Song
Vocalist and songwriter\xa0Lizz Wright is usually referred to as a jazz or gospel singer, and she certainly does sing both of those styles. But she\u2019s also comfortable with blues and R&B and the Great American Songbook. Her latest album is called Shadow, and it features striking versions of songs by Cole Porter, Sandy Denny, and others.\xa0The record also includes a number of Lizz Wright\u2019s own songs, which draw inspiration from her Southern upbringing in Georgia, and wander freely among the many styles of American music.\xa0\u201cShadow\u201d happens to be Wright's\xa0studio debut under her label, Blues & Greens Records, a new step in her artistic freedom, and without the\xa0genre constraints imposed by record labels.\xa0Lizz Wright and her band perform some of these acoustic songs, in-studio.\xa0
