Stella Heath Sextet: From Billie Holiday to Edith Piaf

Stella Heath, a versatile young vocalist, who draws inspiration from the music and stories of the great artists that have influenced her, presents an evening of music: “From Billie Holiday to Edith Piaf." Holiday and Piaf had many parallels in their lives, from great success to great tragedy, and both had an ability to live in the depth and nuance of the songs they sang, carrying their audiences along with them. Stella showcases her love of American swing along with her love of French chanson and Jazz manouche with an all star band in the style of Django Reinhardt. Featuring Bay Area accordionist, Rob Reich.
