After showing early potential,
Dee Dee Bridgewater wandered into commercialism and then moved to France. This 1986 recording started her artistic "comeback" and showed that she had developed and matured during her years in Europe. Backed by her regular French rhythm section,
Bridgewater is in spirited and creative form on such numbers as "All Blues," "There Is No Greater Love," and "Cherokee," among others. Her arrival as a major singer in the years since this set has been a welcome event. Recommended. ~ Scott Yanow
