Description
Enjoy a spectacular evening dedicated to the memory of Billie Holiday with one of the most expressive voices in Madrid, the American vocalist T.J. Jazz. One of the most versatile and charismatic artists from the national jazz scene, together with her vibrant quartet, T.J. Jazz has captivated diverse audiences with her undeniable power and the subtle nuances of her vocals. This extraordinary jazz performer—dancer, actress, musician, and vocalist—is much more than a singer; she is, above all, a phenomenal entertainer. It’s T.J. Jazz’s rich artistic background and her natural spontaneity on stage that bring a new dimension to the "Lady Day" classics, going far beyond mere imitation. From Billie Holiday's close bond and creative "duel" with Lester Young (Fine & Mellow, Gloomy Sunday), to her spirited rivalry with Ella Fitzgerald (Swing Brother Swing), and her street performances in New York—smoking, cursing, and sharing moments with future legends like Baby Lawrence (Them There Eyes)—this tribute delves into the essence of "Lady Day." No homage would be complete without Strange Fruit, the haunting protest song that transformed her career and is widely regarded as the first true civil rights anthem. Rather than offering a simple imitation, T.J. Jazz takes audiences on a journey through lesser-known songs and poignant moments from Billie Holiday's life, capturing her kindred spirit in all its complexity.
