Dee Dee Bridgewater on a 'demanding role'

This image released by Cromarty and Co. shows Dee Dee Bridgewater performing in the off-Broadway musical play, "Lady Day," about legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday. The role not only involves more than 25 musical production numbers but also 16 monologues, or "regressions," that look at the brilliant singer's troubled life. (AP Photo/Cromarty and Co., Carol Rosegg) NEW YORK (AP) — Dee Dee Bridgewater might have been a Broadway star were she not so successful as a jazz singer. She won a Tony Award in her Broadway debut as Glinda the Good Witch in "The Wiz." But she later rededicated herself to her jazz career, touring the world, winning three Grammys Awards and hosting NPR's nationally syndicated "Jazz Set."
