LEGENDARY jazz singer Billie Holiday will receive a tribute at Jazz in the Bar at the Marine Theatre on Sunday March 12 at 8pm.
Known for her definitive interpretations of classic jazz standards such as Summertime, Love Me or Leave Me and God Bless the Child, Billie Holiday is considered to be one of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time.
Vocalist Julie Dunn and pianist Philip Clouts will be paying tribute to this American great on Sunday, March 12 at 8pm in Lyme Regis.
Born in America in 1915, by 1933 Billie Holiday was already singing in Harlem jazz clubs, where she was discovered by the producer John Hammond. By the end of the 1940s, she was a popular star.
Julie Dunn is the perfect vocalist to pay tribute to Holiday.
She will be joined by pianist Philip Clouts. Jazzwise Magazine has said Clouts’ solos have an attractively crisp, bluesy clarity that’s punctuated with evocative impressionism.
