Divas Angelique Kidjo, Dianne Reeves and Lizz Wright embraced an Istanbul audience Tuesday night, not only singing jazz but also the “truth” as part of a tour dedicated to the songs of their favorite female stars.
The three singers provided an enthralling mix of blues, jazz and African music, mesmerizing the audience at the Cemil Topuzlu Open-Air Theater on Tuesday night as part of the ongoing Istanbul Jazz Festival.
