Eleanora Fagan (1915–1959): To Billie With Love from Dee Dee Bridgewater

Dee Dee Bridgewater pays homage to legendary Billie Holiday with Eleanora Fagan. "Billie deserves to have her music heard in another light," she says, "and I definitely didn't set out to imitate her." Accompanied by a stellar ensemble, including Christian Mcbride on bass, James Carter on reeds, and pianist/arranger Edsel Gomez, Bridgewater reimagines Billie Holiday’s timeless classics with an innovative, raw, and soulful approach.
