Even calling Dee Dee Bridgewater the most brilliant jazz singer of her time just doesn’t quite do her justice. Through the sheer force of her ebullient personality, not to mention her astounding vocal technique, the 58-year-old Tony and Grammy® Award-winner commands the stage, charming, flirting and ultimately having her way with an audience. From Love and Peace, a hard bop tribute to Horace Silver, to Dear Ella, an engaging take on the monumental work of Ms. Fitzgerald, Bridgewater has created a series of highly personal projects that never fail to connect with fans worldwide. Her latest endeavor is a heartfelt tribute to Billie Holiday, an artist she embodied with such power that she earned a Laurence Olivier Award nomination for the 1987 London musical Lady Day.
