Happy Birthday Lady Day!

"What comes out is what I feel, and that's all I know."

Should she have lived past her death in 1959, Billie Holiday would have turned 91 today. The woman with the emotionally intense vocal stylings has left us with a legacy that's so "fine and mellow."

If you haven't listened to Billie in awhile, or not at all, tune into KKJZ 88.1 FM and listen for some of her works being played throughout the day. Or, listen during this whole month to show your support for National Jazz Appreciation Month, celebrating a uniquely American creation.
