“Billie Holiday Homage” José James
Vienna State Opera 19.30
On 12 December 2015, fans will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the legendary Frank Sinatra. To mark this jubilee, a top-quality tribute to the "The Voice" will feature opera stars Thomas Quasthoff and Angelika Kirchschlager as well as austrian crooner Louie Austen. Allan Harris grew up in New York City’s Harlem. He is a flexible singer who can seamlessly transition from the jazz traditions of a Nat King Cole to the soul sounds of the 1970s.
José James became one of the great phenomena of the younger jazz club scene with his fusion of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and electro. His latest release, “Yesterday I Had The Blues” is a tribute to Billie Holiday.
