Vocalist Lizz Wright will make her Concord Records debut with Freedom & Surrender, set for release on Sept. 4. The album was produced by Larry Klein, best known for his work with Joni Mitchell, Madeleine Peyroux and Tracy Chapman.
Joining Wright on the sessions were drummer Vinnie Colaiuta, bassist Dan Lutz, percussionist Pete Korpela, guitarist Dean Parks and Jesse Harris; and keyboardists Kenny Banks, Pete Kuzma, and Billy Childs. In addition, Klein also recruited his longtime songwriting partner David Batteau to collaborate with Wright in the songwriting process.
