Talk:Dee Dee Bridgewater

Style

It would be great if some people in the know could write about her style of singing and its development, and her contribution to the development of jazz (if any). The article as is, though well-written, tells nothing about the music. Wurdnurd (talk) 13:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Request edit: discography missing 2025 album Elemental

I am China Moses, the daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater. I am disclosing a family relationship per WP:COI guidelines and requesting that an independent editor implement the following factual update.

The discography section is missing Dee Dee Bridgewater's most recent studio album. Please add the following entry:

• 2025: Elemental (DDB Records/Mack Avenue) — a collaboration with pianist Bill Charlap; debuted at the Hollywood Bowl during the Blue Note Jazz Festival; received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album.

Sources: Mack Avenue Records official release page; Grammy Awards nominations list 2025/2026.

Thank you. — MIC Prod (talk) 02:10, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Already done Thank you for disclosing your COI and using the edit request process. The discography section (and standalone article Dee Dee Bridgewater discography) both include Elemental in the list of her studio albums. The Grammy nomination for it is also included in the table with her other awards. Best, Zzz plant (talk) 05:18, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Request edit: Grammy nomination for Elemental (2025)

I am China Moses, the daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater (family COI disclosed).

The awards section should be updated to reflect a Grammy nomination received for the 2025 album Elemental (with Bill Charlap, DDB Records/Mack Avenue). The nomination is for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Please add this to the Grammy nominations list in the awards section.

Source: Grammy Awards official nominations list.

Thank you. — MIC Prod (talk) 02:11, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Request edit: outdated description of China Moses

I am China Moses, the daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater (family COI disclosed). The current article describes me as "an accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, radio host and MTV VJ (France)." The MTV VJ reference is outdated by over two decades and no longer reflects my primary work. I am requesting it be updated to the following:

Suggested replacement: "Bridgewater's daughter China Moses is a singer, songwriter, music producer, and international radio broadcaster. She has released seven studio albums and has hosted long-running jazz programs on TSF Jazz France and Jazz FM UK."

Thank you. — MIC Prod (talk) 02:11, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Not done for now: I have edited the existing description for neutral POV. I'm happy to update the description too if you can provide a source that verifies those additional details. The source already in the article just verifies singing/performing and being a presenter for MTV France. Best, Zzz plant (talk) 05:26, 17 July 2026 (UTC)
