Description:

This collaborative album is the culmination of a 20-year musical partnership between Lizz Wright, whose voice is truly one of a kind, and the renowned pianist and organist Kenny Banks Sr. Building on the trust fostered by a chance encounterduring which their improvised performance of Amazing Grace profoundly changed Wrights musical journeythe album warmly portrays life, memories, and hope through a blend of jazz standards, gospel, and spirituals. Through the power of the lead single Soon Ill Be Done and the delicate expression of the title track Nearness, this album quietly celebrates the power of music to connect people and bring joy, healing, and transformation, leaving a profound and lingering impression.
