Ms. Bridgewater spills with theatrics and sensuality.

—New York Times

Dee Dee Bridgewater has a technique and musicality that bests most performers of her generation, and her understanding of the ‘great American songbook’ makes pretenders pale in comparison.

Over the course of a multifaceted career spanning four decades, Grammy- and Tony-winning jazz giant Dee Dee Bridgewater has ascended to the upper echelon of vocalists, putting her unique spin on standards and taking intrepid leaps of faith in re-envisioning jazz classics. Ever the fearless voyager, explorer, pioneer, and keeper of tradition, the three-time Grammy-winner most recently received a Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album for Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie with Love from Dee Dee.

For this special tribute at MIM Music Theater, Bridgewater will present songs from her 1997 album Dear Ella, showcasing her versions of classics from the Fitzgerald catalog.
