Lizz Wright

Lizz Wright's first two Verve releases, Salt and Dreaming Wide Awake, established her as one of the jazz world's most celebrated rising stars, both an accomplished songwriter and a versatile, deeply expressive singer. On her third album The Orchard , the Georgia-bred, New York-based artist takes a substantial leap forward, transcending genre distinctions to deliver a vibrant, intensely creative milestone. The largely self-penned The Orchard, finds Wright mining her own experience to create an unmistakably personal musical statement.

"... astonishing maturity and poise... she stirs jazz, gospel and rhythm and blues into a reflective, flowing style that elongates songs into prayerful meditations that never wander into vagueness... her singing... pitch-perfect, with a smoky, full-bodied texture... impressive in its steadiness, control and rhythmic subtlety...." — Stephen Holden, New York Times
