Live in Paris is a 1987 live album by American jazz singer Dee Dee Bridgewater.[2] The album was recorded in Paris on 24–25 November, 1986 and released via Impulse! label.

Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic wrote "This 1986 recording started her artistic "comeback" and showed that she had developed and matured during her years in Europe. Backed by her regular French rhythm section, Bridgewater is in spirited and creative form... Her arrival as a major singer in the years since this set has been a welcome event. Recommended."[3]

Jack Fuller of Chicago Tribune stated "Here`s one for the permanent collection. Dee Dee Bridgewater has what only a few jazz singers each generation has-the ideas, the energy and the vocal equipment to make the music complete. Bridgewater delivers on everything from the Erroll Garner standard, "Misty," to the down and dirty "Dr. Feelgood" and "Medley Blues." And when she improvises, it has just the right balance of reference and innovaton. The references may be to Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter, but you'd better think of adding Dee Dee Bridgewater to the short list of standards."[4]
