    About This Event

    Dida Pelled, a New York–based jazz vocalist and bandleader whose work moves between classic songbook material and contemporary writing, brings her project I Wish You Would to Dizzy’s Club. She approaches arrangements with an arranger’s sense of structure, favoring clarity and phrasing and letting time feel do much of the storytelling as her recorded presence and live following grow in parallel.

    About I Wish You Would(song)

    "I Wish You Would" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). She wrote and produced the song with Jack Antonoff, who developed the track from his initial sampling of the snare drums on Fine Young Cannibals' 1989 song "She Drives Me Crazy". A synth-pop and bubblegum song, "I Wish You Would" is instrumented by a staccato guitar lick, dense synths and snares, and layered vocals. The lyrics are about two ex-lovers longing for each other.
