Lizz Wright

Presented by UAB's Alys Stephens Center at Alys Robinson Stephens Performing Arts Center

With her rich and smoky vocals, regal poise and songs that elude definition, there’s no question as to why she will be returning to ASC. Since her last visit in 2009, Wright has released two albums, the most recent being Freedom and Surrender, produced by Grammy-winning producer Larry Klein. » Initially the album was supposed to be a disc of mostly cover songs, centered on the theme of the circuitous dance of love. Instead, it became the opposite, yielding captivating originals such as “Lean In,” “Real Life Painting” and “Right Where You Are.” » This Georgia native has taken the jazz world by storm with her trademark combination of jazz, folk, gospel and soul. Wright has been called the most gifted interpretive vocalist of her generation. Her dynamic soul is illuminated by the layers of passion and playfulness in her music. Don’t miss Lizz Wright as she lights up the Jemison Concert Hall this season.
