Bridgewater & Charlap
Performance

Dee Dee Bridgewater and Bill Charlap

April 25, 2026

Two jazz legends. One unforgettable evening.

Vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater and pianist Bill Charlap—each a towering figure in American jazz—join forces for a night of intimate, electrifying music-making.

A three-time Grammy winner and NEA Jazz Master, Bridgewater brings her unmistakable voice, theatrical flair and fearless spirit to every note. Charlap, one of the most sensitive and swinging pianists of his generation, is celebrated for his deep knowledge of the Great American Songbook.

The duo will interpret classics by iconic composers such as Ellington, Porter, Sondheim and more—reimagining each song with warmth, wit, and soul.

“[Bridgewater] has a technique and musicality that bests most performers of her generation.”

The Guardian

“Charlap is masterful… rollicking stride piano, bebop virtuosity and harmonically opulent modernism.”
