I don’t want forget to write some lines about Dee Dee Bridgewater concert in Coruña near a month ago. I read “Bridgewater presents her most daring album”. Maybe it’s true, but it was a wonderful live: she mixed standards with Black Africa arrangements with Black Africa songs with bop arrangements. She touched all the great West Africa topics in her search of her Mali roots: slavery, celebrations, Mother and, of course, love. She had time to pay tribute to the great Nina Simone. The audience end the show standing up, and clapping following the rythm :-)
Dee Dee live
The night ended with my friend Sonia and me celebrating at Jazz Filloa. It was a very nice night :-)
