The WDR Big Band performs together with singer Lizz Wright the song "No More Will We Run" by Toshi Reagon. ______________________ No More Will We Run Songwriter: Toshi Reagon
When winter comes you will remember Days of warm and heat Rolling on us like a need Relentless and catching
When the night falls You will rest easy Knowing there was a hiding place Sweat like honey river rolling inside
We will know where we stand And we will know Where we love And we will be Where we stand and love And No more No more No more No more No morе Will we run
I look at you love and wonder How anyonе could fear our connection I look to love and wonder How I ever felt this satisfaction
But that’s not all there is in this world And every hour I saw my will But that’s not all there is in this world So No more No more No more No more No more Will I run Away From you

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.
Victor Hugo
The song is like a gentle breeze in summer that lovingly caresses my ear.

REVIEW: Lizz Wright “Shadow”
REVIEW: Lizz Wright “Shadow” @lizzwrightmusic @americanahighways #newmusic2024 #shadow #johnapice #aemricanamusic
Lizz Wright – Shadow Though Lizz straddles the expansive spirit of easy listening & world music with her dark alto vocal she’ll remind dedicated fans of Joan Armatrading of her equally persuasive early music. But Ms. Wright is exceptional. Her voice is primarily a tool of emotion, ambiance & sensitivity before it approaches any showboating possibility (which isn’t even necessary or evident in…

"When you want a great show, it's not 'entertaining' the audience - it's you sharing with them... an experience of communion," says Lizz Wright. "Music is primal: when it's done without pretension, you can feel the shape of someone's soul."
Through a voice that The New York Times describes as "a smooth, dark alto possessed of qualities you might associate with barrel-aged bourbon or butter-soft leather," vocalist and songwriter Lizz Wright sings with a soaring reflection of the cultural fabric of America.
"I've followed my voice rather than forcing it to emerge." 
I became a Lizz Wright fan when my friend, Carol, turned me on to her rendition of Nina Simone's 
"Seems I'm Never Tired Lovin' You."  You can feel the emotion she pours into every note of this ballad. Lizz Wright's 20-year career transcended social divides with her offer of love and a deep sense of humanity. She told NPR she is a big Otis Redding fan and finds inspiration 
in how he leaned into a song's lyrics.. "
He sounds like he's always at the end of a long day, and he just won't give up. I just love his wearied devotion — that beautiful, beautiful, weathered sound."She first made a name for herself nationally as a vocalist with a touring concert tribute to Billie Holiday. Lizz Wright released her debut album, Salt, on Verve Records, which topped Billboard's contemporary jazz charts. On Concord, Lizz Wright released Freedom & Surrender (2016)—featuring the single "Lean In," which landed on President Obama's Summer 2016 playlist—and Grace (2017).   
"I started really opening up as a songwriter and an interpreter and taking songs from all kinds of genres and stripping them down to just lyrics and the story inside the lyrics, and trying to make them really mine."Lizz Wright launched her own independent record company, Blues & Greens Records a few years ago. She released the album Shadow, which features five of her original compositions and 
celebrates the intimacy of romantic love, loss, community, and healing.
She avoids pigeonholing her music taste and instead listens to and appreciates all types of music. "What I like is not a particular genre; it's storytelling," says Lizz Wright. "There's a lot of great storytelling in jazz, folk, and country music."

Herbie Hancock, Gregory Porter, Shemekia Copeland and Lizz Wright performing "Imagine". ________________ Imagine Songwriter: John Lennon
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No Hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people Living for today Ah, ah, ah-ah
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people Living life in peace Yoo-hoo, ooh-ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people Sharing all the world Yoo-hoo, ooh-ooh
You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
