Welcome to a new edition of the Neon Jazz interview series featuring the acclaimed Grammy-winning vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater and decorated jazz pianist Bill Charlap. We caught up with this powerhouse duo to discuss their stunning new 2025 collaborative album, Elemental. As two of the most respected figures in modern jazz, their partnership showcases a masterful understanding of the jazz tradition.
Although they had never worked together before their impromptu first performance in 2019, their musical chemistry was immediate—and undeniable. Since that moment, they’ve continued to create spellbinding performances, culminating in this remarkable studio recording.
Join us from the road in Oakland as we dive deep into their artistic journey, the making of Elemental, and their shared love of timeless jazz.
