With an instantly recognizable voice that evokes the greats of the golden era of American vocal jazz, her conversational delivery and her distinctive melodic flair, JULIA BIEL’s original music for which she is known and internationally celebrated has always displayed the hallmarks of an artist fully versed in the jazz tradition. On this one-off special date the award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist goes back to the source to honour one of her great idols by performing a full concert of interpretations of Billie Holiday classics such as ‘The Very Thought of You’, ‘I Hear Music’, ‘What a Little Moonlight Can Do, ‘Night and Day’ alongside lesser known gems from Billie’s repertoire. Prepare to be mesmerized as Julia sings Billie with Ben Hazleton on double bass and Laurence Corns on guitar.
