Billie HolidayIn honor of and beginning in Jazz Appreciation Month, WPFW will present the radio documentary "No Regrets: The Music and Spirit of Billie Holiday". The program will air every Wednesday at 5pm, and Thursday at 2pm, beginning April 1 through May 13, the 13-part series examines Holiday's early life, the evolution of her singing style, her activism, and other topics related to her career.

Savage Content/Miami, Kent Savage, Executive Producer, New Media Productions/Boston, Steve Robinson, producer and writer & Jazz historian Willard Jenkins, present a thirteen-part series exploring Billie Holiday's musical genius and legacy. 
 
“No Regrets: The Music and Spirit of Billie Holiday," examines Holiday's early life, the evolution of her singing style, how her haunting rendition of "Strange Fruit" played a vital role in the birth of the Civil Rights movement and other topics related to her astonishing career. 
 
The focus throughout is Holiday's singular musical artistry, her independent spirit, how her unique approach to her music became one of the strongest influences in the evolution of jazz, and how she continues to influence performers today.
 
The series includes interviews with musicians and scholars including: Karrin Allyson, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Angela Davis, Lara Downes, Dr. Farah Jasmine Griffin, Corky Hale, Alan Harris, Rene Marie, Professor Robert O'Meally, Dan Morgenstern, Fred Plotkin, Adam Clayton Powell III, Beth Roars, Dianne Reeves, Phil Schaap, Andromeda Turre and Casandra Wilson.
