Got tickets for this event at the Barbican. Some great singers and a 40 piece orchestra

Paloma Faith - hurrah!
Gregory Porter - hurrah!
Dee Dee Bridgewater - who she?
Georgie Fame - is he still alive?
Boy George - There's always a downside

I'm surprised that you've not heard of Dee Dee Bridgewater, Rum. She was the lead singer in the the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, and has performed with Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie, Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Rahsaan Roland Kirk and others. Stylistically, I would say she is in the mould of Dinah Washington.

I hope you enjoy the concert. It will be interesting to see how Boy George has developed.

Only 64, from Memphis. How can I not know her? I must have come across her before, the name rings a bell.
