Dee Dee Bridgewater @ Victoria Jazz Festival 2009- Strange Fruit

Dee Dee Bridgewater performs "Strange Fruit" like at the 2009 Victoria Jazz Festival.
Over the course of a multifaceted career that has spanned four decades, Dee Dee Bridgewater has risen to the top tier of today's jazz vocalists, putting her own unique spin on standards as well as taking intrepid leaps of faith in re-envisioning jazz classics. For her latest recording, Eleanora Fagan (1917-1959): To Billie With Love From Dee Dee, Bridgewater honors an iconic jazz figure, Billie Holiday, who died tragically at the age of 44 a half-century ago.

never thought i would hear a better version than Billie's- but this might be it.

Es Vitoria, no Victoria.

I don't think you can ever compare the different versions of these songs. Billie's, Nina's, Dee Dee's etc because they were all performed from a different place. Comparing one version to another is like comparing apples to bananas.

Beautiful rendition. Though, Billie makes it much more tangible. Great nonetheless.

I prefer Nina Simone's version
