Billie Holiday Fested At The Apollo

Billie Holiday Centennial Celebrated

A whole lotta Lady Day around the city, and the world, this month as Billie Holiday was born in April of 1915.  At the Apollo, she was inducted into the Walk of Fame while Molly Johnson at Jazz at Lincoln Center led a handful of vocalists interpreting her songs.  Three new albums have been released as well; one from Johnson, one from Cassandra Wilson (who helped put Billie’s plaque on the walk), and a newly curated centennial collection of Holiday herself.
