The two hour concert parades some thirty songs from the wonderful Billie Holiday repertoire, including many that are all-too-frequently ignored. They are presented chronologically through the 30s, 40s and 50s, many featuring the original arrangements, and performed with so much style and vitality that you might almost be there. New York City. November 1933. When it all began: The Billie Holiday Legend.
