Billie Holiday
What A Little Moonlight Can Do
Proudly Presented by the Noosa Heads Jazz Club
Majestic Theatre, Pomona
Thursday 27th November - 1.00pm to 3.30pm
Tickets: $25 Members & $30 Guests
When Billie Holiday first heard the records of Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith, rather than copy their vocal delivery Billie interpreted tunes her own way. It was this and her life experiences that made her a uniquely different vocalist from others.
After a turbulent childhood, Holiday began singing in nightclubs in Harlem where she was heard by producer John Hammond, who liked her voice. Holiday signed a recording contract with Brunswick in 1935. Her collaboration with Teddy Wilson produced the hit: ‘What a Little Moonlight Can Do’ which became an enchanting jazz standard.
This concert will feature some of Billie Holiday’s most admired songs.
The Musicians
John Reeves (piano), Paul Williams (Saxophone & Clarinet), Paul Hendon (Saxophone & Clarinet), John Conley (String Bass), Rod Andrew (Percussion) and June Garber’s evocative vocals, support the passionate, compelling story of this extraordinary jazz musician.
This concert will be one of our most popular and we sugest that you book early.
