LIZA LEE
ライザ・リー

www.lizaleejazz.com


ピアニスト/プロデューサーのブルース・バースの画期的なアレンジと、豊かで個性的、ソウルフルで陽気なライザ・リーの声が混ざり合う。インディー系ジャズアーティストのライザ・リーが聞かせる最先端のジャズ/ポップ/フォークスタンダード。
「このアルバムでは、ライザ・リーは自分の個性を積極的にジャズに取り入れている。実際、最初のトラックから多様性にあふれている。アルバムの最初の曲は、けだるい日曜日の朝バージョンのStrawberry Fields Forever
「実際には彼女が作曲したのはタイトルカットのみなのだが、様々な曲に情感がこもっているので、まるですべてが彼女のために作曲されたかのような錯覚を覚える。感動を覚えない歌詞はライザが歌わない。だから、彼女が歌うナンバーには深い情感がこもっているのだ。聴いてみて損のない印象的なアルバム」- All Music Guideのスコット・ヤナウ



Singer and songwriter Liza Lee's last recording "Scarlet Mark", garnered amazing reviews and gained her a higher profile on the New York City music scene. Though "Scarlet" was a jazz project, rather than trot out the usual Gershwin and Berlin standards, Liza's recording was both contemporary and timeless, as she only performed words and stories that meant a lot to her, resulting in consistently haunting, meaningful and personal interpretations.

Born and raised in Reading, PA, when Liza was 13, she persuaded her mother to take her to New York to begin auditioning for theater, TV and film. She gained one of the top children
s talent managers and began working. Having had a busy career acting and performing on stage, in off-Broadway shows, film, television, commercials, cabaret and touring productions, Liza began to grow tired of the routine. I remember standing on the stage performing in a musical and feeling like it was time to move on. I had been in shows since I was four years old (locally) and professionally since I was thirteen. I wanted to try something different. I realized that I never wanted to abandon performing but I also knew that a creative shift was in order.

Liza relocated to New York to live full time. She began to study music with world-renowned jazz pianist and composer Bruce Barth who became her mentor and accompanist.
I was new to the jazz world. I didnt really understand what a force Bruce is on the jazz scene. Eventually he told me that he felt that I could make a living as a jazz vocalist so I decided to give it a go. I suppose that that may sound a bit strange to just sort of say Ok, now I sing jazz! but that is really how this period in my life occurred. During this time Liza also studied vocal technique with Jeannette LoVetri, Luciana Souza and Eric Mingus.

Liza and her band went into the studio and recorded her first full-length project "Scarlet Mark", which Bruce played on and co-produced. The release of this project led Liza to receive worldwide airplay, and she toured internationally. Liza also captured the attention of an agent over at I.C.M. (International Creative Management).

An increasingly significant performer, Liza Lee is poised to become an important voice of the 21st century.
