Description

Liza Lee, the New York City based indie artist has no musical boundaries from jazz to rock, from folk to classical. You cannot put this girl into a box.

"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" has been released on her independent label Jazz Doll records.

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.

"The CD opens with Liza Lee slowly singing the opening line of "Strawberry Fields Forever." Her wistful delivery creates a sense of mystery because it's not evident where she will take you with the song. She is soon joined by the piano and a hint of drums. Lee is turning the familiar Beatles' song into a jazz tune. Other artists have reinvented Beatles' songs into jazz pieces with mixed results. What makes Lee's turn work is that she has stripped the song to its bare bones, allowing her to experiment with the pacing and a small combo to play with the melody. They create a song that's right for a late-night club."
