The Billie Holiday Project
The Apollo Music Café is Harlem’s new night spot where music genres from the Apollo’s heritage – R&B, hip hop, soul, jazz, pop, funk, and rock – are transformed by cutting-edge artists in a stylized lounge space. At this special event, the performance takes a theatrical turn when two Harlem icons collide in a mix of music and spoken word. Queen Esther and Hot Five perform the relatively unknown yet timeless songs of the jazz siren Billie Holiday and combine them with the newly unearthed urban fables by Zora Neal Hurston. Directed by Talvin Wilks. Music Director, Matt Ray. Featuring Francesca Harper, Charles Wallace and Keith L. Thomas.
