| Abstract | Singer and actress Dee Dee Bridgewater was born on May 27, 1950, in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised in Flint, Michigan. Bridgewater attended Michigan State University and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. In 1970, she met and married trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater and moved to New York City. She sang lead vocals for the Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra in the early 1970s, and appeared in the Broadway musical, The Wiz, from 1974 to 1976. Bridgewater released her first album in 1974, Afro Blue, and went on to record more than a dozen albums in her lifetime. She performed with Horace Silver, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie and Terence Blanchard and was sought after to perform in musical festivals, television shows, and on the radio. She owned her own production company and record label, and hosted the NPR syndicated radio show, JazzSet with Dee Dee Bridgewater. Bridgewater has won three Grammy Awards and one Tony Award. |
