Dee Dee Bridgewater ''Love & Peace'' ( A Tribute To Horace Silver )

Dee Dee Bridgewater

"Love & Peace"
( A Tribute To Horace Silver )

Note:
Dee Dee Bridgewater performs 13 of Horace Silver's songs on this well-conceived release. On most selections she is accompanied by her French quintet, but there are also two guest appearances apiece for organist Jimmy Smith and pianist Silver himself ("Nica's Dream" and "Song for My Father"). Throughout, Bridgewater uplifts Silver's lyrics, proves to be in prime form, and swings up a storm. Other high points include "Filthy McNasty," "Doodlin'," and "Blowin' the Blues Away."

''Love & Peace'' ( A Tribute To Horace Silver ) was nominated for a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Performance.
