Dee Dee Bridgewater:
To Billie with Love—A Celebration of Lady Day
“She devoured every piece she performed. Prowling the stage like a cat hunting its prey, nuzzling up to an instrumentalist one moment, hissing into the microphone the next, she reminded listeners of the uniqueness of her art.”—Chicago Tribune on Dee Dee Bridgewater
