TWO GRAMMY® WINNERS share THE STAGE
Over the course of a multifaceted career
spanning four decades, Grammy® and
Tony Award-winning jazz giant
DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER has
ascended to the upper echelon of vocalists, putting her unique spin on standards,
as well as 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 won the Grammy®
for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2011.
One of the world’s premier jazz
pianists, BILL CHARLAP has
performed and recorded with many
leading artists of our time, ranging
from jazz masters Phil Woods and
Wynton Marsalis to singers Tony
Bennett and Barbra Streisand. In
2016, Charlap won the Grammy® for
Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Since 1997, he has led the Bill Charlap
Trio, now recognized as one of the
leading groups in jazz.
“Charlap approaches a song the way a lover approaches his
beloved…when he sits down to play, the result is an embrace, an act of
possession. The tune rises, falls, disappears and resurfaces in new forms as
Charlap ranges over the keyboard with nimble, crisply swinging lines, subtly
layered textures, dense chords and spiky interjections.”
- TIME Magazine
“[Dee Dee Bridgewater] has a technique and musicality that bests most
performers of her generation.”
- THE GUARDIAN [UK]
