Details
[Edit]Often feted as one of the most talented jazz singers of her generation, Dee Dee Bridgewater is also indisputably one of the most stylistically adventurous. In her early career she fearlessly stormed the pop market, and in recent years she’s released soul-jazz and Afropop crossover albums and helmed tributes to figures as diverse as Kurt Weill, Billie Holiday, and Horace Silver. Yet throughout all these stylistic digressions Bridgewater has stayed firmly rooted in the jazz tradition; this side of Bridgewater’s art is highlighted by Midnight Sun, a release collecting remarkable Bridgewater interpretations of jazz standards recorded between 1993 and 2010. Bridgewater proves equal to her source material throughout Midnight Sun, particularly on her memorable reading of Silver’s classic ballad “Lonely Woman” and Johnny Mercer’s “Midnight Sun,” which Bridgewater performs with enough strength and imagination to rival Ella Fitzgerald’s immortal 1957 interpretation.
