“Dee Dee Bridgewater sings the kind of modern le jazz hot that makes everyone think they can speak French. And in fact, the American singer has lived in Paris for most of her career, soaking up not only the rich influences of her adopted hometown, but also fitting right in among its community of musicians with their own deep connections to American Jazz. Her insightful arrangements of standards by Piaf, Holiday, Kinn, and her own original work make for Grammy- (and Tony-) winning material. Tonight, she shares the stage with living legend Al Jarreau, a man whose work is synonymous with the jazz-vocals canon around the world.”
Shana Nys Dambrot, Flavorpill
Two premier jazz vocalists, two unique sets. Multi-Grammy winner Al Jarreau is the master of smooth jazz scat. Dee Dee Bridgewater delves into repertoire from her portrayal of Billie Holiday and brings the timeless songs to life.
