SUMMARY:LIZZ WRIGHT & KENNY BANKS SR.
DESCRIPTION:Lizz Wright\, who owns one of the most spellbinding voices of her generation\, regardless of genre is joined by her dear pianist Kenny Banks Sr. on their brand new album\, Nearness. The album\, produced by longtime musical director and esteemed guitarist Chris Bruce\, features just Wright and Banks\, on piano and organ\, traversing the romance of the Great American Songbook and the resiliency of Black spirituals. Nearness is an extraordinary showcase for each artist’s sheer ability and experience. But more than that\, it serves as a master class in the clairvoyance and faith that defines collaboration at its apex. \nThrough an inimitable voice that The New York Times touts as\, “a smooth\, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather\,” renowned vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America. She lies beneath the script of history\, transcending social divides with an offer of love and deep sense of humanity. Her music accepts the beauty of reality and creates a collective experience of belonging for the listener. Wright’s songs embody a tradition that allows us to always feel at home. \nKenny Banks Sr.\, a composer\, arranger and performer who slips effortlessly among musical styles while retaining his own distinct sound. This Columbus Ohio native has graced renowned stages like the Jools Holland Television Show in England\, Tiny Desk\, BET\, and the Image Awards. His iconic performances at the inauguration and the United Nations Ceremony for President Barack Obama highlight his impact\, resonating across significant venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York City and the Philharmonie in Berlin. Kenny has engaged with acclaimed artists like Jimmy Heath\, Wess Anderson\, Earl Klugh\, Kathleen Bertrand\, Jennifer Holiday\, Aretha Franklin\, and even the prestigious Philadelphia Orchestra\, showcasing just a glimpse of his impressive list of notable musical performances. \nCover: $65.00 ~ $75.00 | $5.56 – $6.26 fee
