Jazz stars Dee Dee Bridgewater, Irvin Mayfield pay tribute to spirit of New Orleans
  • 9 years ago
Grammy Award-winning jazz stars Dee Dee Bridgewater and Irvin Mayfield talk to Richelle Harrison Plesse about their new album "Dee Dee's Feathers", which celebrates the unique rhythms of New Orleans. Accompanied by the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra, which Mayfield founded, they tackle Big Easy standards such as "Big Chief" and "Do You Know What It Means."
Plus, we cast our eye over the week's new releases: not one but two albums from French-Lebanese trumpet virtuoso Ibrahim Maalouf, and Tiken Jah Fakoly's tribute to the golden age of reggae.
