Welcome to A to Z, as heard on Afternoons with Jamie Crick. Every week, on-air and online, we are alphabetically exploring and paying homage to some of the great musicians, performers, albums, record labels and artists we love.

Continuing our progression along the alphabet, we've reached the letter D... So, let's take a look at Dr John and Dee Dee Bridgewater.

Dee Dee Bridgewater

Arguably one of the biggest jazz vocalists of her generation, the multi Grammy Award-winning singer Dee Dee Bridgewater is known for her unique style on reimagining jazz classics and bridging styles.


Dr. John, the Night Tripper

Malcolm John Rebennack Jr, aka Dr John, was a New Orleanian singer-songwriter who embodied the music of his hometown, merging blues, jazz and R&B to create his own distinctive style.
