Kate Borger continues her musical observation of Women’s History Month with a wide view of things - with Old, New Borrowed and Blue - for the first set - old music from Billie Holiday, new sounds from Alexa Tarantino, borrowed sounds of Duke Ellington by Candace Springs, and blue sounds from Ma Rainey.
The Roster also includes Shirley Horn, Bessie Smith, Jane Ira Bloom, Nina Simone, Nora Jones, Dakota Staton, Cecile McLorin Salvant and a reinvention of Erroll Garner’s version of Where or When by New Kensington’s Lucianne Evans
A rich and entertaining hour of musical women with Kate Borger on Rhythm-a-Ning.
