Since the release of her 2003 debut album “Salt,” Lizz Wright has received nonstop critical acclaim. With vocal roots planted in her hometown Georgia church, Wright turned to jazz in the late 1990s. “Salt” — jazz standards and new material spanning gospel, soul and blues styles —reached no. 2 on Billboard’s Top Contemporary Jazz chart. Three follow-up disks, “Dreaming Wide Awake,” “The Orchard” and “Fellowship,” established Wright as an eloquent songwriter with impressive interpretive skills.
