Dee Dee Bridgewater & Benny Green 'All Blues' | Live Studio Session

Grammy award-winning jazz vocalist, Dee Dee Bridgewater almost always performs with a band accompanying her, while pianist Benny Green is generally heard in a trio configuration and seldom works with vocalists (with the notable exception of being Betty Carter's pianist when he was in his 20's).
So this session was a double treat: hearing two great musicians, both slightly out of their performance comfort zones, but totally in the moment with each other.

She's a Jazz Angel and there's not much higher you can go! ....and Benny, well, he's born to do this. This is how it's done and this is why I am a Jazz Addict!

[@bryanbonner7523]

Benny's solo here gives me goosebumps just thinking about it: all shades, all hues, all blues. Wonderful work by both Dee Dee and Benny; what a great combination.

[@Samyham007]

Awesome music! I love All Blues! I've heard of Dee Dee Bridgewater. Awesome singer! I love listening to KPLU 88.5. I've been listening since I was in high school.

The last of the great Jazz Divas...
What an inspiration for every musician on stage...

[@Hyperbion7]

Benny looks like he could be a 20 year old who's just really strung out.

[@annedwyer797]

He does look like a 20-something grunge hipster, but that's where the phrase "never judge a book by its cover" comes in...it's really true.

[@davidscott1052]

[@jinjooyoo4731]

OMG

[@plausswanson183]

[@jstringer213]

Great cover of this Jazz classic...Other versions of note ...Chet Baker...Kenny Burrell...Brian Auger/Julie Driscoll...This song is just sooo darn open to improvisation...Dee Dee does this song justice!!

[@jazzman1988]

Gosh. Love it. Benny's harmony...

[@caponsacchi]

The most successful (commercially and artistically) album of all time is "Kind of Blue." Had that been an RVG recording, it would have sounded completely different--robbing Bill Evans' touch of its crystalline vibrancy and deep, profoundly personal beauty. The challenge is to place the piano inside your soul, making it "sing" like a lyric poet's voice. An engineer or label must not interfere with that project.

[@deanchovan6604]

Great---- You and Benny fit like a hand in a glove

[@Thatotherjim]

I have a shirt like that. And there the similarity between me and Benny Green ends. What a beautiful performance this is from the pair of them. Beautiful.

[@jimjennings7623]

This is a true GEM!

[@igorpatzi8485]

[@jasoncarpp7742]

I've heard the instrumental version of "All Blues", played by Miles Davis, and by Stanley Clarke, but I've never heard anyone sing "All Blues". Awesome!

[@arnaudbouthinon4729]

Rachelle Gould with Chet Baker 👌

[@walicannon]

Dennis Rowland kills this with Wallace Roney on Trumpet. However, this one is fun with DeeDee and just the piano of Benny Green.

Some how doing a Miles Davis song without a trumpet seems wrong. Maybe it's me.

[@johnazproductions6475]
