Details

The time is 1959. From the bandstand of a seedy Philadelphia bar, just four months before her tragic and premature death, we watch Billie Holiday mesmerize one of her very last audiences. Throughout the evening, we listen to a collection of her best-known music and salty, often humorous reminiscences. A riveting portrait of a tortured soul, and a gifted musician whose life and genius were shaped by pain and anguish. $50.
