Southern singer-songwriter Lizz Wright crafts a distinct mixture of jazz, folk, gospel, R&B, and is widely celebrated as a rising star in the jazz world. The warmth and resonance of her gospel-trained contralto is matched only by her versatile, deeply expressive style. The New York Times says, “she stands in a direct line of descent from Odetta through Tracy Chapman, singers whose source of sustenance is the African-American spiritual tradition.”
