Dee Dee Bridgewater

Dee Dee Bridgewater, jazz vocalist and host of NPR's JazzSet, brings To Billie With Love, A Celebration of Lady Day, to Boston's newly refurbished Paramount Theatre on March 27 and 28 (courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Celebrity Series).

Ms. Bridgewater made an appearance today on NPR's Talk of the Nation (can one make an "appearance" on radio?) in support of her tour and new CD, Eleanora Fagan (1915-1959), To Billie With Love From Dee Dee. Joining the conversation was Billie Holiday biographer Farah Jasmine Griffin (If You Can't Be Free, Be a Mystery: In Search of Billie Holiday)to talk about the great Lady Day.
