Lizz-Wright-Holding-Space-800x794.png


Lizz Wright’s seventh album, Holding Space, is a glorious declaration of independence. It’s the first release on her artist-centric new label Blues & Greens Records, a platform that allows musicians to retain the masters and rights to their music. Artistically, the project presents Wright at her most elemental, backed by a working combo with guitarist Chris Bruce, bassist Ben Zwerin, keyboardist Bobby Ray Sparks II, and drummer Ivan Edwards.

Recorded in Berlin in the summer of 2018 at the conclusion of a European tour, the album captures Wright in full flight, focusing on music from 2017’s Grace while also drawing from her previous Concord release, 2015’s Freedom & Surrender, and her project with the WDR Big Band. Since the release of her star-making 2003 debut Salt, Wright has tried on several instrumental settings. Her producers tended to gussy up her songs with an array of keyboards and string instruments; the results didn’t always serve her well. Holding Space is Wright unadulterated, from Allison Russell’s carved-oak “Barley” to a lusciously slow version of k.d. lang’s “Wash Me Clean.” - JazzTimes
