Lizz Wright at SFJAZZ Center

About

With an instrument described by The New York Times as a “sumptuously earthy, which commands strict and often spine-tingling attention,” the Georgia native first gained attention delivering Swing Era standards associated with Billie Holiday. Since her 2003 debut album Salt, Wright’s music has evolved to embrace soul and R&B, steeped in the gospel of her childhood. She makes a welcome appearance on the Miner stage with music from her latest Blues & Greens release, Shadow.
