"Nights with Lady Day" Tribute to Billie Holiday
Forresters Hall, 1204 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA
Cami joins The Max Perkoff Sextet for a unique evening celebrating the voice and music of the great Lady Day, Miss Billie Holiday.
Trombonist/composer/musical director Max Perkoff is a fan of Lady Day. "Her swing, her music, her genius" inspired Perkoff to form the jazz sextet "Nights With Lady Day" which exclusively performs Miss Holiday's complete recorded repertoire. What makes this group a real standout is the fact that it is an all instrumental ensemble with Perkoff's muted trombone often working as the songstress to deliver the lyric. Max will share the task with Cami, who has been a life-long fan of the first lady of vocal jazz.
