Known for unforgettable performances of Strange Fruit, God Bless the Child, and Don’t Explain, Holiday's artistry captured the beauty, sorrow, and resilience of the Black American experience. Her musical legacy endures as a timeless treasure of the jazz canon.

Featuring Sky Covington

An 11-time Detroit Music Award winner, Sky Covington is celebrated for her deep, sultry tone and her passionate interpretation of jazz classics. As founder of The Preservation of Jazz, Covington is a tireless advocate for honoring the greats and nurturing the soul of jazz music. Her moving tributes to Billie Holiday have touched thousands, and this year’s 27th Annual Tribute promises to be her most heartfelt yet.

Accompanied by the Duke Ellington Trio

These world-class musicians will bring the essence of Lady Day’s era to life, creating an unforgettable night of classic jazz.
