Over four decades, Grammy and Tony award winner Dee Dee Bridgewater has established herself as one of the world's leading vocalists with an extreme stage presence, and has fearlessly put her own unique signature on jazz standards. She has overwhelmed us at Nattjazz before, and this time it is the activist we will get to know. WE EXIST! Is a battle cry and an ongoing reflection where the quartet explores protest songs such as "Mississippi Goddam", "Trying Times" and "The Danger Zone", while simultaneously connecting the present with history and showing both how far we have come, but also how far there is to go . Music with meaning from a charismatic world star!

We Exist!
