Lizz Wright Reviews

Like so many vocal greats, Lizz Wright began her singing in the church. For her it was a small church in Hahira, Georgia where her father served as musical director and where she soaked up the sounds of songs of faith. She was also surrounded by varied types of secular music at home especially jazz and soul. Wright moved to Atlanta in the late 90s to attend Georgia State University and began singing mostly jazz, both solo and as part of the popular local group In The Spirit...

Lizz Wright's debut Salt introduced a talented vocalist with deep roots in spiritual music and the ability to convey the soulful feeling of jazz. Like the majority of new singers on old jazz labels, Wright's sensibilities extend beyond jazz into "adult contemporary" in the realm of Sade, Norah Jones, Sarah McLaughlin, Tracy Chapman and others. Wright is a serious singer who centers upon the healing embrace of her radiant warmth and emotional integrity...

This is the much-anticipated debut album from the 23-year-old Georgia soul singer who has taken the jazz world by storm. The co-producers are music industry legend Tommy LiPuma (George Benson, Miles Davis, Diana Krall) and top jazz drummer/composer Brian Blade. To say everything here is good would be an understatement...

Over the course of her first three albums, Georgia native Lizz Wright has tackled styles ranging from traditional jazz and vintage R&B; to blues and even country. For her latest, Fellowship, Wright brings her classically trained pipes and deeply soulful sense of phrasing to gospel music. The result is both the fourth straight album to prove that Wright is perhaps the most gifted interpretive vocalist of her generation, and also a profound, moving gospel record...

From its first track's atmosphere of lean Hammond B3s, hollowed-pit drum snaps, gristly wah-wah-infused guitars and dusty pedal steel, you can hear that Georgia crooner Lizz Wright's moved from the R&B; rub of previous recordings (Salt) to a different street entirely: Craig Street's street, he the producer behind the crusty textural vibes of Cassandra Wilson. This is no shock. Wright's baritone husk has always sounded like a sprightlier version of Wilson's carefully odd wail...

Hands down, my favorite female singer of the 1980s and '90s was British post-punk darling Tracey Thorn, Ben Watt's velvet-voiced musical (and life) partner in Everything But the Girl. I consider their Idlewild, from 1988, the single most accomplished pop album of its day. With Thorn now in semiretirement, I've worried her voice might be forever silenced, and doubted as satisfying a replacement could ever be found...

One of the more memorable debut albums of recent years was Lizz Wright's 2003 Verve release Salt. The follow-up CD, Dreaming Wide Awake, builds on the promise of that earlier recording and, at its best, demonstrates artistic growth on the part of the neo-soul vocalist. Though the strong rhythm and blues element that made the earlier disc stand out has been somewhat toned down in places by an adult pop approach, Dreaming Wide Awake is nonetheless a fine record to play when lights are low...

The twenty-something Lizz Wright isn't a jazz purist: She freely spices her songs with elements of gospel, blues and pop. And though her vocals call to mind Paula Cole and Des'ree, Wright is an original. Salt is a satisfying blend of originals and covers like "Soon As I Get Home" from the musical The Wiz, Mongo Santamaria and Oscar Brown Jr's "Afro Blue," and Chick Corea and Neville Potter's "Open Your Eyes, You Can Fly...

Lizz Wright's debut release, "Salt," is one of the year's big surprises.The 23-year-old, Georgia native skillfully integrates jazz with a dose of rhythm and blues and a dab of gospel. The result is a fresh, soulful affair.Wright emerged in 2002 at a Billie Holiday tribute in Chicago, where she performed renditions of "I Cover the Waterfront" and "Don't Explain." The early promise she showed then blossoms with "Salt."The CD is made up of a dozen tracks, including five original ballads by Wright...
