Billie Holiday: Remixed & Reimagined Record Release Party
Friday, August 3 2007
South Street Seaport, New York NY


event description
Following the success of Nina Simone: Remixed & Reimagined, Legacy Recordings continues to expand the jazz paradigm with Billie Holiday: Remixed & Reimagined, the second installment of a new series that taps contemporary dance and electronic music's most sought-after producers/remixers to reinterpret classic recordings for a new generation. Roland Richards and Ladybug Mecca energize "Spreadin' Rhythm Around," which recasts the original as a surging "hip-hop meets swing" anthem. "Trav'lin' All Alone" becomes a sinister urban affair at the hands of veteran hip hop/funk/modern soul mixmasters Nickodemus and Zeb. Master DJ/turntablist and sonic manipulator DJ Logic cunningly modernizes "Glad To Be Unhappy" into a cinematic mosaic. More than just a simple remix package, the 14-track set underscores the importance of the original recordings while retooling them for an audience more inclined to a modern club environment.

Special guest DJ's Nickodemus, Jazzy Nice, Logic, Mariano + Nappy G & Christian Rogers on percussion & Jay Rogiguez on sax & flute.
