Dee Dee Bridgewater, diva del Jazz con la super orchestra di Irvin Mayfield

Momento imperdibile della 31. edizione di JazzAscona è il concerto che la celebre cantante Dee Dee Bridgewater terrà ad Ascona lunedì 29 giugno assieme a una big band stellare da New Orleans!

Dee Dee Bridgewater è da molti anni una delle cantanti più ammirate al mondo. La sua carriera straordinaria lâha vista acclamata protagonista in tutto il mondo in formazioni diverse, sui più importanti palcoscenici e al fianco di stelle di prima grandezza come Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Ray Charles.

Dotata di una voce unica e inconfondibile, è considerata una delle principali eredi delle più grandi cantanti dellâepoca dâoro del jazz, come Ella Fitzgerald o Billie Holiday, cui ha del resto dedicato due album - âDear Ellaâ (1998) ed âEleanora Fagan : To Billie with Love From Dee Dee Bridgewaterâ (2009) - che le sono valsi tre Grammy Awards. Dee Dee è stata anche acclamata protagonista di musical e produzioni teatrali.

Alla sua prima apparizione al festival, la cantante sarà accompagnata dal trombettista Irvin Mayfield e dalla sua New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, una formazione che fonde mirabilmente la tradizione musicale delle grandi big band americane con il groove e il funk delle Second line di New Orleans. Insomma uno spettacolo da non perdere, variato e carico di trascinante groove, che presenta un entusiasmante mix di New Orleans funk, ballate swinganti e stomp-the-beat music.

Vincitore di un Grammy Award proprio con la sua New Orleans Jazz Orchestra nel 2011, Irvin Mayfield oltre che versatile trombettista è anche compositore ed arrangiatore ed è uno dei musicisti più emblematici ed importanti emersi nella New Orleans risorta dopo Katrina, tragedia di cui nel 2015 ricorre il decimo anniversario e in cui Irvin perse il papà . Mayfield era già stato ammirato protagonista ad Ascona nel 2012, anno in cui si esibì con alcuni musicisti della sua orchestra.

Don't miss one of the crowning moments of the 31st edition of Jazz Ascona! On Monday June 29, fans will get the unmissable chance to admire acclaimed jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater, on stage with a great New Orleans big band. Dee Dee Bridgewater has been one of the world's most esteemed singers for years. Throughout her extraordinary career she has performed internationally with many different bands, on the world's most renowned stages and on the side of stars of the likes of Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, and Ray Charles.

Endowed with a unique and unmistakable voice, she is considered heir to the greatest singers of the golden age of jazz such as Ella Fitzgerald or Billie Holiday, to whom she dedicated two of her albums - âDear Ellaâ (1998) and âEleanora Fagan: To Billie with Love From Dee Dee Bridgewaterâ (2009) â and earned her three Grammys.

In her first appearance at JazzAscona, she will be accompanied by trumpeter Irvin Mayfield and his New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, a band that majestically blends the musical tradition of the great American big bands with the grooves and funk of New Orleans second line. A groovy show you cannot miss that will blow your mind with its fusion of New Orleans funk, swing, and stomp-the-beat.

Winner in 2011 of a Grammy Award with his NOJO, Irvin Mayfield is not only a highly adaptable trumpeter but also composer and arranger and is one of the most emblematic and important musicians of post-Katrina New Orleans.

Unverzichtbar: Dee Dee, Diva des Jazz mit dem Superorchester von Irvin Mayfield

Ein unverzichtbarer Moment am 31. JazzAscona Festival ist das Konzert der berühmten Sängerin Dee Dee Bridgewater und ihrer super Big Band aus New Orleans, welches am Montag, 29. Juni über die Bühne geht.

Dee Dee Bridgewater gehört seit vielen Jahren zu den meistbewunderten Sängerinnen, weltweit. Im Laufe ihrer beispiellosen Karriere stand sie als umjubelte Protagonistin auf den bedeutendsten Bühnen der ganzen Welt, in diversen Formationen und an der Seite von Topstars wie Thad Jones, Mel Lewis, Dexter Gordon, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Ray Charles. Ausgestattet mit einer einmaligen, unverwechselbaren Stimme, gilt sie als eine der wichtigsten Erbinnen der grossen Sängerinnen der goldenen Epoche des Jazz, wie Ella Fitzgerald oder Billie Holiday, denen sie übrigens zwei Alben gewidmet hat - "Dear Ella" (1998) und "Eleanora Fagan: To Billie with Love From Dee Dee Bridgewater" (2009). Drei Grammy Awards hat sie damit gewonnen. Dee Dee trat zudem als gefeierte Hauptdarstellerin in Musicals und Theaterproduktionen auf.

Bei ihrem ersten Auftritt in Ascona wird die Sängerin begleitet vom Trompeter Irvin Mayfield und seinem New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, einer Formation, die auf wunderbare Weise die musikalische Tradition der grossen amerikanischen Big Bands mit dem Groove und Funk der Second Lines von New Orleans verschmelzen lässt. Kurz gesagt: Dieses Konzert darf man sich nicht entgehen lassen - abwechslungsreich und voll mitreissendem Groove in einem begeisternden Mix aus New Orleans Funk, swingenden Balladen und Stomp-the-beat Music.

Gerade mit diesem New Orleans Jazz Orchestra gewann Irvin Mayfield 2011 einen Grammy. Der vielseitige Trompeter ist auch Komponist und Arrangeur und gehört zu den emblematischsten und bedeutendsten Musikern, die sich im neu erstandenen New Orleans nach Katrina einen Namen gemacht haben. Zehn Jahre sind seit der Hurrikan-Tragödie vergangen, in der Irvin seinen Vater verlor. Mayfield wurde schon 2012 am Festival in Ascona als Protagonist bewundert, zusammen mit einigen Musikern aus seinem Orchester.
