Release Notes:

One of the best jazz singers of her generation,
Dee Dee Bridgewater (who was married to trumpeter
Cecil Bridgewater in the early '70s) had to move to France to find herself.
She performed in Michigan during the 1960s and toured the
Soviet Union in 1969 with the University of Illinois Big Band.
She sang with the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis orchestra (1972-1974)
and appeared in the Broadway musical The Wiz (1974-1976).
Due to erratic records and a lack of direction, Dee Dee Bridgewater
was largely overlooked in the jazz world by the time she moved to
France in the 1980s. She appeared in the show Lady Day and at
European jazz festivals, and eventually formed her own backup group.
By the late '80s, Bridgewater's Verve recordings were starting to alert
American listeners as to her singing talents. Her 1995 Horace Silver
tribute disc (Love and Peace) is a gem and resulted in the singer
extensively touring the U.S, reintroducing her to American audiences.
She would find even more success with her tribute album,
Dear Ella, which won a Grammy in 1997.
