She has a technique and musicality that bests most performers of her generation
– The Guardian
Audience favorite, Dee Dee Bridgewater, is a triple Grammy-winning jazz vocalist. In addition to the collection of Grammys, Dee Dee won a Tony for her role as Glinda in the 1975 Broadway production of The Wiz, she’s an NEA Jazz Master, and she serves as Goodwill Ambassador to the United Nations. Not to mention Christina Koch, NASA astronaut and NC State alumna, said a concert with Dee Dee is one of her most memorable experiences of her time at NC State!
Dee Dee is adored for her warm personality and her unique spin on standards, as well as taking intrepid leaps of faith to re-envision jazz classics for the future. She’s performed with such jazz notables as Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon and Dizzy Gillespie. We’re thrilled to open our mainstage season with Dee Dee’s spectacular voice alongside her vibrant jazz quartet. Don’t miss this living legend.
