Dee Dee Bridgewater stands as one of jazz’s most versatile singers. She covers the full range of the emotional spectrum of music. Midnight Sun is a collection of ballads from her various albums over the past decade and a half, from Dear Ella to the Grammy-winning Elenora Fagan. The selection and sequence of tunes is great. To hear the singer’s fantastic and seductive delivery of words and magic in a concentrated package, is to be reminded of the exquisite artistry that has been the hallmark of all her work.
