As some of you already know - Lizzy’s background is opera. When the band decided to play this gorgeous Sidney Bechet clarinet duet (“Waste No Tears”), the band’s arranger, Dan Barrett, suggested a crazy idea: Lizzy should sing the 2nd clarinet part 😬 Clarinets and voices are two VERY different instruments - and as you can hear in this song there are passages where the vocals have to navigate 3 octaves in a single measure!! Not to mention hear harmonies that are pretty dissonant. But it was a fun challenge to meld the band’s jazz aesthetic with Lizzy’s soprano background. Hope you dig! Full video is on our YouTube page and full track is on our latest album, Live at Joe’s Pub.

We are so happy you've found our little corner of the internet :) Hope you can come see us live sometime!
