Liza Lee
Liza's performing career began at the age of four when she was a featured performer at church and local functions. As she entered her teen years, she developed an interest in the theatre and focused her efforts in that direction. Her talent quickly outgrew her environment and she soon found herself touring the United States in numerous theatre productions, as well as modeling and acting in both television and films. After numerous years performing on the stage and screen, Liza's jazz roots have resurfaced; she is drawn to jazz by the freedom to express herself through the music. Liza loves to take songs not typical of the standard jazz set and retell these stories in her own style as well as singing classic standards with her own flair. Through this creative pursuit, she has developed a collaborative relationship with one of today's premier jazz pianists, Max Jazz recording artist and producer Bruce Barth. Bruce produced her first CD and co-produced and arranged her latest project, "Scarlet Mark". Liza is surrounded by some of the greatest musicians on the New York City music scene and has been accepted as one of their own. "Scarlet Mark", has been both a musical and emotional exploration for Liza as it draws on the last few years of her life and touches on how she like many other women seek validation through relationships with men. "Scarlet Mark" is a journey of love, marriage, heartbreak and personal growth. On this CD, Liza exhibits additional talents as she co-produced the project and co-wrote the title track with bassist, Pat O'Leary. Additionally "Scarlet Mark" is the first release on her independent label Jazz Doll records. Liza continues to develop her talents as she studies with the renowned Jeannette LoVetri of the Voice Workshop. In the fall of 2004 Liza will begin her "Scarlet" tour to promote her new CD before heading to Europe in the spring of 2005. Liza is a welcomed addition to the jazz world. She brings her passion, charisma, and charm to every performance. We will be hearing great things from Liza Lee for many years to come.
