Originally recorded in 1955, hear Billie and her band band rehearse for an upcoming show, work out arrangements and muse about her voice, life and that unlucky 13! This rehearsal tape was collected and released in 1973 where it would be nominated for A Grammy Best Spoken Word Album in 1974.Actress Audra McDonald, who won her 6th Tony in 2014 for her portrayal of Billie Holiday, said of these recordings. "The light went on for me when I discovered a bunch of recordings of rehearsals of Billie Holiday in 1956 with Jimmy Rowles and Artie Shapiro. Billie is at ease… having a good time telling stories…. I realized that in those recordings she sounded just like my grandmother! So, by imitating my grandmother's voice I was able to find Billie's voice.”http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/07/six-time_tony_winner_audra_mcd.htmlwww.biillieholiday.com
