The Jazz Legacy Project presents Billie Holiday: God Bless the Child, featuring Maria Howell. 

 

Billie Holiday's unique vocal approach and advanced sense of rhythm made her one of the most important and influential vocalists in American history. Her relentless fight to be treated as an equal - as a musician, a female, and an African-American - made her one of the most important American figures in the 20th century. 

 

Join us as we detail how she developed her unique vocal style and how she blazed a trail for women and African-Americans that would pave the way for future generations.

 

This show features a multimedia experience of live music, narration, images, and video footage.
