“Erotic torque… pioneering every phrase… when she hit the first note, it seemed you could hear the last note in it. And in every note you could almost hear the rest of jazz.” —Hollywood Reporter
Dee Dee Bridgewater—a Grammy and Tony Award-winning artist, producer, UN Ambassador, and host of NPR’s JazzSet—focuses her talents on material immortalized by the enigmatic jazz icon Billie Holiday. Bridgewater delves into the broad-ranging repertoire she explored during Stephen Stahl’s Lady Day, her Laurence Olivier-nominated theatrical portrayal of the legendary singer. Bridgewater conveys Holiday’s unique vocals and influential style—the way she manipulated phrasing and tempo, and was strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists. Holiday’s jazz standards, sung impeccably by Bridgewater, include God Bless the Child, Don't Explain, Lady Sings the Blues, and the blazing anthem Strange Fruit.
