Equal parts gospel, blues, R&B and jazz, the earthy, enthralling, underappreciated alto is touring behind her new live-in-Berlin album, “Holding Space,” the first on her own label (which allows musicians to retain the masters and rights to their music). Whether doing originals (love the swampy “New Game”) or interpreting classics like Neil Young’s “Old Man,” Wright pulls you deep into her heart and soul. Before she heads to Europe again next month, she is touring in a duo with pianist/organist Kenny Banks Jr. A bittersweet footnote: Wright at the Dakota was the last concert Prince experienced before he passed.
