Grammy- and Tony-winner Dee Dee Bridgewater is the most complete jazz singer on the scene today — combining superb vocal chops and the acting talent that makes her a masterful interpreter of lyrics. Her skills are fully displayed on “Dee Dee’s Feathers,” a joyful collaboration with trumpeter Irvin Mayfield’s New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. The release celebrates the Crescent City’s rich musical tradition, past and present, on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
