China Moses One Sheet
1
CHINA MOSES, daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater and director Gilbert Moses, has been steeped in music and the theatre world since she was a child. Exceptionally gifted, she released her first single Time (1996) at the age of 16 along with her first video directed by Jean- Baptiste Mondino. This success was followed by four albums: CHINA, ON TOURNE EN ROND, GOOD LOVIN’ and her brilliant collaboration with Raphael Lemonnier on THIS ONE’S FOR DINAH. Those releases turned her into a force to be reckoned with on the French R’ n’ B scene. Her albums saw her work with Swedish hip hop label Breaking Bread as well as renowned names like DJ Mehdi, Diam’s, Karriem Riggins, Guru, Anthony Marshall and sound engineer Bob Power. In 2008 her curiosity led her on an adventure with a metal/soul band that experimented with a fascinating fusion of rock, funk and hip hop (Sound Good To You) in a quest to discover new sounds. China was a presenter on music channels such as: MCM (1999-2001) and MTV France (2004-2011). In 2011 she joined the team for the 8th season of French TV show Le Grand Journal on Canal+. Since October 2011 she has been presenting Jazz Radio’s Made in China programme (M-F, 7-8pm). CRAZY BLUES, her latest project, was conceived as a tribute to some of the Great Dames of Blues and Soul: Dinah Washington and some of her precursors and peers: Mamie Smith, Helen Humes, Lil Green, Ma Rainey, as well as stars like Esther Phillips, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin, Etta James, Ann Peebles and Donna Summer. With her band playing in a genre China has dubbed Rough Soul, and by favoring spirit over form, her interpretations get right on down into the song. As China and her band prefer nothing more than to perform live in front of an audience, the evenings are so much more than just a tribute. ‘We have been on tour to India, Japan and Montreal,’ China says ‘We opened for on B.B.
