This conversation came from the recent Journey of Jazz cruise on the West Coast. The co-host of that cruise, Marcus Miller, interviewed the charismatic and expressive Dee Dee Bridgewater, who shared stories from her remarkable career of more than five decades. Dee Dee talked about how she approaches singing a song, about her love for Nancy Wilson, about living in Paris for many years, about her unique connection to Josephine Baker, about the career of her daughter China Moses, about working with Thad Jones, and finally, about the mentoring organization for women that she ran called the Woodshed Network. If there is a theme throughout the interview, it's about facing challenges and overcoming adversity.
