Lady Sings The Blues brings the timeless songs of Billie Holiday to the Core Theatre in a powerful live concert celebrating one of jazz’s greatest voices. Featuring award-winning vocalist Val Wiseman and six outstanding jazz musicians, this critically acclaimed show traces Billie’s music through the 1930s, 40s and 50s - from intimate early recordings to iconic later works.
Val Wiseman’s remarkable career began in the Midlands and owes much to early influences in music and drama and the opportunity of working with some of Britain’s legendary bands. Alex Welsh, Humphrey Lyttelton, Monty Sunshine and Kenny Baker were quick to notice her potential and featured her on their tours and broadcasts.
An evocative evening of live jazz, rich storytelling and unforgettable songs, in partnership with Birmingham Jazz & Blues Festival. The band is stacked with British Jazz Award Winners, all supremely talented big hitters on the UK Jazz Scene.
