One of the best jazz singers of her generation, Dee Dee Bridgewater (who was married to trumpeter Cecil Bridgewater in the early '70s) moved to France to find herself. She performed in Michigan during the 1960s, toured the Soviet Union in 1969 with the University of Illinois big band, and sang with the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra (1972-74). |
