Lizzie Thomas - Easy To Love (2013)

Lizzie's second album "Easy To Love" interlaces the sweet charm of a southern belle with the deep complexity of the New York experience. A masterful ensemble that includes Xavier Davis on piano, Ron Affif on guitar, and many other notables such as Frank Lacy on trombone. "Lizzie is one of those songstresses that you "get" immediately. She has that vocal nuance, unique stylistic approach and quite frankly a fantastic voice." Thomas flows on such classics as "One Note Samba" "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Our Love is Here To Stay."

It always seems that there has to be a story for us to recognize the talented, and here we have both. The story of Miss Thomas hailing from the Nashville music scene mixed with the depth of a New York Jazz experience. And what do you get from this downtown mixology? Musicians that are playing at the top of their game and Lizzie bringing them to a level that even amazes them.

About Lizzie Thomas:
Lizzie Thomas started studying classical piano at the age of 8, clarinet at 10, and at age 13 discovered her voice. She continued to perform in musicals and shows, which led her to study jazz vocals at Belmont University, in Nashville TN, with Sandra Dudley.

After she was graduated with a BA in vocal jazz performance, she experimented with indie alternative bands as a keyboardist and songwriter. But her passion remained in jazz. She moved to New York, the jazz capital of the world.

Her delivery of a lyric is felt from the heart and her sweet sophistication will charm you into wanting more.

"I can't imagine my music without Ella, Billie, Nat, and of course, Frank.
