sings live from her latest album, Dreaming Wide Awake
Lizz Wright first started singing gospel in the Southern American church where her father was a minister. Despite her father not allowing any other forms of music in her house, Lizz discovered a passion for jazz.
Lizz performs live from her latest album and tells Jenni how she made the transition from church music to jazz - and how her family reacted to it.
Dreaming Wide Awake available on the Verve label
Lizz performs at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, Friday 8 July at 7.45pm
