"Scotland-based singer-songwriter Lizabett Russo merges her native
traditions with elements of contemporary jazz, avant-garde folk and
world music, a range of influence effortlessly spanned by her
powerfully versatile voice. The BBC have championed her work -
featuring on both BBC Radio 3 and Radio 6 as well as the BBC stage at
Latitude Festival. She has also toured extensively around Europe and
Asia.Musically Russo's influences are wide ranging. Echoes of her
native Romania are beautifully interwoven with avant-garde folk,
contemporary jazz and world music. Her humble stage persona belies a
talent which has drawn comparisons with the likes of Joanna Newsome
and even Bjork! Lizabett will be accompanied by the award-winning
jazz guitarist Graeme Stephen. Today he leads and contributes to a
multitude of musical projects in Scotland and overseas, playing a wide
array of styles from free improvised jazz to Scottish folk. Stephen's
peerless improvisational skills and talent for composition make him
one of Scotland's most exciting and prodigious musical talents."This
is simply world-class work, by any standard" - Tom Robinson, BBC Radio
