Best known to theater audiences for replacing Idina Menzel as Elpheba in the Broadway cast of Wicked, the big-voiced Bean dips into the Apollo to promote her fourth studio album, Spectrum, which finds her fronting an 18-piece big band. Expect standards, modern pop and a sprinkling of original songs, along with guest appearances by Tony winner Cynthia Erivo (The Color Purple) and jazz singer Ledisi.
