A Weekend Celebrating Billie Holiday, 10/11-12 at Greenwich Library

Following last October’s popular Louis Armstrong programs, Greenwich Library and BackCountry Jazz team up once again to present two events to honor the great Billie Holiday. 

The weekend celebration will kick off with Billie Holiday: Sensational Lady, a special Friends Friday Film presentation on Friday, October 11 at 8 p.m. This 57-minute film, originally produced by the BBC in 2001, is a highly regarded and authoritative look at the turbulent life of "Lady Day".
