DESCRIPTION:
Unique AB production in which an impressive voice of modern jazz - José James -- releases his vocal glory upon the musical heritage of Billie Holiday, or "Lady Day". Let's just say: one of the most impressive voices American jazz history has ever known.

Coincidence or not: Billie Holiday -- or Eleanora Fagan Gough -- was born on 7 April 1915. So José James intentionally chose this symbolic date (read: anniversary).
