From the event description:
"The Billie Holiday Project," led by Stella Heath, celebrates the music of Lady Day.

Featuring some of the Bay Area’s finest jazz musicians, "The Billie Holiday Project" evokes the electric and intimate feeling of experiencing Lady Day live in a 1930s jazz club.
When: Saturday, Aug. 24, 7:30-10:30 p.m.
