Join us at Jazz@CAM for an unforgettable evening as The Jazz Legacy Project presents Billie Holiday: God Bless the Child feat. Maria Howell. We will detail how Billie Holiday developed her unique vocal style and blazed a trail for women and African Americans, paving the way for future generations. This show features a multimedia experience of live music, narration, images, and video footage.

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 significant American figures of the 20th century.
