Today, I was joined at Media Room Live! by Stella Heath, leader of The Billie Holiday Project.
We talked about her career as an actress before becoming a musician, The Billie Holiday Project, and its recently released For Billie.
We also discussed Lady Day’s iconic “Strange Fruit” (below) and the current, retrograde movement of civil rights in America.
I mentioned the Equal Justice Initiative’s Memorial For Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama which, I respectfully suggest, every American should visit.
Thanks to Stella for joining me.

On June 18 I will speak with Charlotte Hu whose album Goyescas was released June 5.
A cornerstone of Spanish piano literature, Enrique Granados’ (1867-1916) Goyescas was inspired by the paintings of Francisco Goya (above).
