The Iridium Jazz Club is very pleased to present two-time GRAMMY award-winner Rita Coolidge, a versatile singer blessed with a clear, pure voice, Rita Coolidge is a capable stylist in rock, pop, R&B, country, and folk, and is a hugely in-demand session vocalist outside of her own solo recording career. Over her long and successful career she's toured and performed with Delaney and Bonnie, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, Leon Russell, and Joe Cocker. She also married progressive country singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson in 1973, the same year she recorded a duet album with him titled Full Moon. Full Moon topped the country charts, and From the Bottle to the Bottom" won a Grammy for Best Country Vocal by a Duo or Group. In 2005 she released the critically acclaimed album of standards And So In Love for the Concord label. A new DVD, On Stage at World Cafe Live, was just released by Universal Music.
Writing recently in the New York Times, Stephen Holden had this to say about Rita Coolidge:
... she appeals through sultry, self-assured understatement. An astonishingly youthful 60, she still embodies the image of elegant post-hippie glamour evoked by the 1970's Hollies song 'Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.'"
