Join us for an evening with Grammy and Tony Award-winning jazz giant vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater! Throughout a multifaceted career spanning four decades, jazz giant Dee Dee Bridgewater has ascended to the upper echelon of vocalists, putting her unique spin on standards, as well as taking intrepid leaps of faith in re-envisioning jazz classics. Bridgewater’s career has always bridged musical genres. She earned her first professional experience as a member of the legendary Thad Jones/Mel Louis Big Band, and throughout the 70s she performed with such jazz notables as Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon and Dizzy Gillespie. After a foray into the pop world during the 1980s, she relocated to Paris and began to turn her attention back to Jazz. Signing with Universal Music Group as a producer, Bridgewater released a series of critically acclaimed titles beginning with Keeping Tradition in 1993. All but one, including her wildly successful double Grammy Award-winning tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, Dear Ella, have received Grammy nominations. You won’t want to miss this special night to experience the musical talents of Dee Dee Bridgewater, featuring Helen Sung on piano/keys, Hannah Marks on bass, and Shirazette Tinnin on drums!
