Billie, Sarah, and Ella: Revolutionary Women in Jazz

It was the birth of the modern era, and Jazz was the soundtrack for change. This Soulpepper Concert favourite explores the stories of the women that infused jazz with a profound social purpose – Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, and Ella Fitzgerald. Soulpepper Slaight Music Associate Divine Brown pays tribute to these unsung heroes and the powerful movement they inspired. 

RUNTIME: 80 minutes, no intermission
