Nancy Wright- Alive & Blue

Nancy Wright- Alive & Blue
Label: Vizztone
Release: 28/06/2019

NANCY WRIGHT is one of the most highly respected and in-demand sax players on today’s blues, Americana and R&B scene. Recently receiving her third consecutive Blues Music Award nomination, she is following up her very successful 2016 



VizzTone/Direct Hit release, PLAYDATE, with ALIVE & BLUE – a smoking hot live recording from the legendary San Francisco live music club, The Saloon, featuring her own Rhythm and Roots band: Nancy on sax and vocals, drummer Paul Revelli, Tony Lufrano on keys and background vocals, Jeff Tamelier on guitar and background vocals, and Karl Sevareid on bass. The twelve-song set features five of Nancy’s original compositions, and showcases the relaxed interplay of veteran musicians.

   This album was born of pure inspiration. Nancy explains, “This recording was very spontaneous. While at previous gigs I had occasionally thought that somebody should record the band live because I love the way they perform together, I contacted Greaseland the day before our Saloon date. Luckily, Robby Yamilov was available. It seemed fitting to record at the Saloon, San Francisco’s oldest bar and a venue I began playing in the mid-80’s, shortly after owner Myron Mu (who recently received a Keeping The Blues Alive award) took the helm. There’s something about the Saloon and its audience that enhances any performance.”
