An angelic voice, charismatic delivery, earthy and soulful songs and a great backing band. Lizz Wright offers all this in a rare balanced combination, spiced with the tradition of African American spiritual music and blues. Born in Georgia, USA, she grew up in the family of a pastor who introduced her to gospel music. She burst onto the jazz scene with an esprit all her own at the beginning of the millennium, recording her still admired debut Salt (2003).
