About DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER QUARTET

Genre
Jazz / Blues
Over the course of a multifaceted career, Grammy and Tony Award-winner Dee Dee Bridgewater has ascended to the upper echelon of vocalists. The three-time Grammy-winner’s most recent win was for Best Jazz Vocal Album - Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee.

A member of the legendary Thad Jones/Mel Louis Big Band, Bridgewater created DDB Records in 2006 in partnership with Universal Music Group. Her self-produced recordings, Dear Ella, Eleanora Fagan, and others have received multiple Grammy wins, nominations, and critical acclaim.

Pursuing a parallel career in musical theater, Bridgewater won a Tony Award for The Wiz. Other credits include Sophisticated Ladies, Black Ballad, Carmen, Cabaret and the Off-Broadway/West End productions of Lady Day, for which Bridgewater received an Olivier Award nomination.

To this day, her stylistic versatility and charismatic presence make Dee Dee Bridgewater one of the great figures of modern jazz.
