Lady Zen‘s themed shows are big audience favorites in the two cities where she performs on a regular basis, San Miguel and Puerto Vallarta. One of the jazz singers who has had the greatest influence on Lady Zen is Bessie Smith, dubbed “the Empress of the Blues.” Smith was a bisexual African-American singer with a contralto voice of operatic proportions, and a Southerner who dealt with issues of race throughout her career. Bessie Smith’s musical legacy will be celebrated in a three-night-only production at the San Miguel Playhouse, in a show entitled Lady Zen Sings Bessie Smith. Lady Zen, whose own opera-trained, three-and-a-half-octave-ranged voice, is powerful enough to take on the Bessie Smith songbook, will be accompanied by a blues band.
