all of me, body and soul

The alliteration
certainly was
a drawing factor,
but I came
to hear
Lady Day sing the blues.

I hadn't realized
I would be transported
to a speakeasy
when I stepped through the church doors.
All that was needed
to make the transition complete
would have been
the clinking of glasses
and the billows
of cigar and cigarette smoke.

A little time travel is to be expected at a church built in 1848. The old-fashioned microphone stand contributed to the illusion, as did the onstage quartet accompanying the singer. Such a fabulous singer she was, too, capturing the heart and the ache of the songs written by, and for, the incredible Billie Holiday.
The Southern Holiday Jazz Band was formed by songstress Jane Ogle for the express purpose of performing Lady Day's songs. But that's not all there is to the show. The audience is treated to the story of Billie Holiday, warts and all, with her songs enhancing that tale and bringing the woman back to life before our eyes and ears.
If you get the opportunity, definitely go.
It'll be one of the best shows you'll ever see.
