Houston favorite Dee Dee Bridgewater has risen to the top tier of today’s jazz vocalists, putting her own unique spin on standards as well as taking intrepid leaps of faith in re-envisioning jazz classics. For her latest Grammy Award-winning recording, Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee, Bridgewater honors an iconic jazz figure, Billie Holiday, who died tragically at the age of 44 a half-century ago.

“Almost everything she does is energized by a bright sassy humor.”– The New York Times

“Five minutes into a typical Dee Dee Bridgewater performance and words like exuberant, ebullient, exhilarating, suddenly become wholly inadequate.” -- NPR
