Candlelight Jazz: Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents The Music of Billie Holiday

Join Jazz at Lincoln Center as we transform the Great Hall into an intimate jazz club, complete with handcrafted drinks, cabaret seating, and superb music overlooking the water. 

Jazz at Lincoln Center musicians come together for an intimate exploration of the music of Billie Holiday—one of the most influential and emotionally resonant voices in jazz history. This special program celebrates Lady Day’s enduring legacy through inspired performances of her signature songs alongside rarely heard gems, illuminating the depth, nuance, and timeless power of her artistry.

Vocalist Cait Jones leads an all-star band: James Zollar on trumpet, Evan Hamaguchi on reeds, Conal Fowkes on piano, Jen Hodge on bass, Charles Goold on drums, and Justin Poindexter on guitar. Together, they honor Billie Holiday not through imitation, but by reimagining her music with reverence, swing, and fresh perspective—bringing her songs vividly to life for today’s audiences.

Perfect for date night, hitting the town, or just kicking back and embracing the chill of a long evening, this performance is not one to miss. See you there.
