Jazz90.1 University – Billie Holiday vs. Ella Fitzgerald

April 9, 2020 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm EDT

They seem worlds apart as Billie Holiday is remembered for the Blues and Ella Fitzgerald is celebrated as the greatest of the jazz scat singers but, in fact, both women rose from very sad, impoverished childhoods to spread the good news of jazz to millions of fans. Today, Lady Day and The First Lady of Song are mythic figures on the Mt. Rushmore of jazz. Join Otto Bruno as we listen, learn, and celebrate the catalogues of these two trailblazing women of the Great American Songbook.
