After studying music at the University of Illinois, he teamed up with tenorman Ron Bridgewater in the Bridgewater Brothers Band (1969). He was married to singer <a href="spotify:artist:2H3xDjMmp31iLmsgXxLFyI">Dee Dee Garrett</a> (aka <a href="spotify:artist:2H3xDjMmp31iLmsgXxLFyI">Dee Dee Bridgewater</a>) for part of the 1970s. In 1970, the trumpeter was with <a href="spotify:artist:5ZATfKurLqflrBhv2FLht5">Horace Silver</a>, and then he worked with the <a href="spotify:artist:6DbqS0X8cSFOPGsvyze2yh">Thad Jones</a>/<a href="spotify:artist:6tWRPRLzfmckBpyR8g4Nnw">Mel Lewis</a> orchestra (1970-1976). Cecil Bridgewater started playing with <a href="spotify:artist:6jrlNnS5B830kpi40j3S6g">Max Roach</a> in the early '70s, and was a key part of his groups ever since. He recorded his long overdue debut as a leader on a Bluemoon disc in 1993. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
