Billie Holiday
Chit-Chat with singer Dee Dee Bridgewater: Bridgewater and 'Lady Day'
Submitted by Alicia Spates on November 3, 2009 - 11:56am
Performer Dee Dee Bridgewater has a spiritual connection to jazz legend Billie Holiday. At first, it was unsettling for Bridgewater — until she embraced it. Now, she celebrates the infamous “Lady Day” in her own way and in her own voice. Bridgewater performs “To Billie With Love: A Celebration of ‘Lady Day’” on Saturday, Nov. 7 at the McAninch Arts Center in Glen Ellyn. She will perform songs off her upcoming album that will be a tribute to the life and music of Holiday.
