Dee Dee Bridgewater finds her roots
- Dee Dee Bridgewater, jazz’s most charismatic female vocalist, has turned her career into a fabulous creative journey. From her brilliant hard bop tribute to Horace Silver on 1995’s “Love and Peace” to her emotionally taut exploration of the music of Kurt Weill on 2002’s “This Is New” and her love letter to France on 2005’s “J’ai Deux Amours,” Bridgewater has created a series of highly personal projects that reach far beyond the standard repertoire.

Tony Bennett stays true to his heart
- F. Scott Fitzgerald famously quipped that there are no second acts in American life, but he didn’t count on Tony Bennett. In a twist worthy of one of the Jazz Age writer’s masterly short stories, it’s the music from Fitzgerald’s own era that has sustained and fueled Bennett’s resurgence as a major force in American music. While waves of pop music have washed across the landscape and often disappeared into the sand, Bennett built his career on the bedrock of the American Songbook. Still sounding hale and hearty at 81, he performs in San Francisco tonight at Davies Hall, backed by jazz pianist Bruce Barth’s trio.
