This year's Focus Jazz artist, Dee Dee Bridgewater, is one of the greatest entertainers on the international jazz scene, with her powerful voice and abundant performing talent. She inherited her passion for music, dance, and acting from her mother and grandmother, and so it is important to her to make music with up-and-coming jazz talents and pass on her experience. For example, in the mentoring program "The Woodshed Network" she founded, she once took jazz singer Kennedy under her wing. Kennedy now, as the frontwoman of the New York-based band Kennedy Administration, rocks every stage with her energetic voice and presence. Together with the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt under the direction of Angelo Valori, the two singers, who have a great deal of mutual respect for each other and their music, showcase their entire artistic spectrum, from jazz, blues, rich R&B, and deep soul.
