Multiple award-winning vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater delivers an astounding masterwork complete with an entrancing set of original compositions and four reworked jazz classics on Red Earth. It is her ode to Mali and Africa - the story of a lost child finding her way home.

After a few underwhelming "crossover" projects, US singer Dee Dee Bridgewater has made a cracking album that unites great jazz singing with the Malian griot tradition. Red Earth is neither fusion nor compromise but a happy meeting of African musicianship and Afro-American romanticism.

When Dee Dee Bridgewater stepped on Malian soil, it was red, just like the ground in Memphis, her birthplace. People were friendly, even familial, and in a tiny Bamako cabaret, Bridgewater jumped onstage and started to sing. She brings that joy to the Kennedy Center in her Grammy-nominated Red Earth: A Malian Journey. Dee Dee Bridgewater's 'Red Earth' in Concert.
