Part 1 : SAMARA JOY
The new rising star of vocal jazz and winner of two GRAMMYS®
in 2023 ("Best New Artist" and "Best Jazz Vocal Album" for
Linger Awhile), Samara Joy makes no secret of her sources of influence. Among
those whom she herself cites, we find Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Betty
Carter. Legendary names who have performed many times in the Gould pine grove.
Part 2 : DEE DEE BRIDGEWATER & the amazing keystone big band
Her first appearance in 1989 when she replaced the great
Sarah Vaughan at the last minute was a true case of love at first sight. Juan
at once fell in love with this attractive star, universal incarnation of the Jazz
Singer, scat expert, so at ease on stage, sensual, full of nuance and
expression… Throughout her career, Dee Dee Bridgewater has never ceased to build
bridges between musical genres. All through the 70s she performed alongside
great names in jazz such as Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon and Dizzy
Gillespie and became one of the main soloists of Mel Lewis's and Thad Jones's
big band. In the 80s, she tried her hand at pop music then moved to Paris where
she refocussed her energy on jazz.
