Liza Lee

New Jazz CD In The Works (For A Great Cause!)

About Me

A promising new force on the jazz scene, singer Liza Lee's most recent recording Scarlet Mark has been earning very favorable reviews and gaining her a higher profile. Rather than trot out the usual Gershwin and Berlin standards, Liza's recording is both contemporary and timeless, and she only performs words that mean a lot to her, resulting in consistently haunting, meaningful and personal interpretations. - Scott YanowFOR BOOKING CONTACT
