Lizz Wright
June 21
"Pitch-perfect, with a smoky, full-bodied texture, impressive in its steadiness, control and rhythmic subtlety"—that's how The New York Times describes Lizz Wright's velvety contralto, which transforms mixtures of jazz, gospel, and R&B into "spun gold." With a new album produced by Craig Street, the ears behind k.d. lang, Cassandra Wilson, and Me'Shell Ndegeocello, this young talent has something special to say as she "elongates songs into prayerful meditations" (The New York Times) and creates musical moments that linger long after the show.
