One hundred years after she was born, Billie Holiday remains iconic in American music, not to mention jazz singing. Cassandra Wilson has made her career in jazz singing by embracing a wide range of American music, and it holds true on her latest project: a new album rearranging the Billie Holiday songbook. The new _Coming Forth By Day_, created with rocker Nick Cave's producer and rhythm section, reshapes songs like "Good Morning Heartache" and "Strange Fruit" with fresh textures and resonances. For Billie Holiday's centennial, _Jazz Night In America_ presents Cassandra Wilson in concert at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., performing her take on the classic tunes.
