WE EXIST! is a rallying cry and a reflection on a journey in progress. Transforming evocative songs of protest like Mississippi Goddam, Trying Times, The Danger Zone and others, the Dee Dee Bridgewater Quartet connects the past and present ,tracing how far weve come and how far weve yet to go. Dee Dee Bridgewaters incomparable vocals and interpretative acumen are at the helm alongside the talents of musical director and pianist Carmen Staaf (Thelonious Monk Institute Fellow and DownBeat Critics Poll Rising Star). Uplifting young artists is an imperative for Bridgewater. In North America, she features Amina Scott (faculty member at Loyola University New Orleans and University of New Orleans) and Shirazette Tinnin (professor at Berklee College of Music), who both take part in The Woodshed Network, Bridgewaters non-profit for women in jazz. In Europe, she showcases Rosa Brunello and Evita Polidoro - both talented, in-demand musicians. WE EXIST! serves as a reminder of the impact of activism and artistry through the inimitable lens of powerful women.
