About the Book
In a middle-of-the-century live recording session, the legendary jazz and blues singer, Billie Holiday, ordered the orchestra silent and the violinist to play in the key of her next song...E-flat. With the accompaniment of only the violin, Billie sang, "God Bless the Child." The audience was moved to tears, some breaking down, because it was virtually impossible to distinguish the violin's sound from Billie's voice.
