TRIBUTE TO DINAH WASHINGTON
Featured vocalist Toni Tupponce delivers a Dinah Washington repertoire including What a Difference a Day Makes, Baby You’ve Got What It Takes, Teach Me Tonight and You Don't Know What Love Is, among other songs. Describing Washington's style, Quincy Jones penned in his autobiography: "She could take the melody in her hand, hold it like an egg, crack it open, fry it, let it sizzle, reconstruct it, put the egg back in the box and back in the refrigerator and you would've still understood every single syllable." Pianist Noel Freidline joins the Ziad Jazz Quartet for this special tribute.
