Billie Holiday Remixed & Reimagined
Billie Holiday's Remixed & Reimagined showcases the 20th century's preeminent jazz vocalist - and also one of the most important female artists of all time - as never heard before.
The latest installment of this critically-acclaimed series, Billy Holiday's most heartfelt vintage master-tape performances were selected and bestowed upon the most groove-worthy remixers and producers of the 21st century, including DJ Logic, Tony Humphries, Nicodemus, Charles Feelgood, Swingsett, Jazzy Nice, and Organica.
The result of these two worlds colliding is a heart-stopping manifesto of love, beauty, rhythm, and poetry that beguiles, teases, and embraces the sweet spot of absolutely anyone with an open mind.
About the remixers

Billie Holiday - Remixed and Re-Imagined
The most heartfelt vintage master-tape performances of Billie Holiday—quite simply, the 20th century’s preeminent jazz vocalist—were selected and then bestowed upon the most groove-worthy remixers of the 21st century. Remixers include Tony Humphries, DJ Logic, Charles Feelgood, Swingsett, Nickodemus, Jazzy Nice, Organica, and more. Also included are trumpet player Fabio Morgera (from the Grammy®-nominated Groove Collective) and Lady Day Mecca (from the Grammy®-winning Digable Planets). The result is this 14-track gem—a heart-stopping manifesto of love, beauty, rhythm and poetry. Had she been born 70 years later, there’s little doubt that this is the kind of soulful sound Billie Holiday would have totally dug. World’s colliding, indeed. But in the most beautiful way possible. [e-card].
