With a multifaceted career that has spanned four decades, Dee Dee Bridgewater has risen to superstardom of today"s jazz vocalists.
Merging out of her latest recording, Bridgewater honors an iconic jazz figure, Billie Holiday in this show. “This album is my way of paying my respect to a vocalist who made it possible for singers like me to carve out a career for ourselves,” says Bridgewater, who performed the role of Holiday in the triumphant theatrical production, Lady Day—based on the singer's autobiography, Lady Sings the Blues — staged in Paris and London in 1986 and 1987.
Few entertainers have ever commanded such depth of artistry in every medium. Fewer still have been rewarded with Broadway's coveted Tony Award, won two Grammy® Awards and France's 1998 top honor Victoire de la Musique.
