It was almost like a dream coming true when I saw that Kira Skov was part of Jazz by the Sea at Copenhagen Jazz Festival 2010.
Kira is one of my favorite Danish female singers and I simply love Billie Holiday.
Kira did a one-off performance singing selected favourites of hers from the large Billie Holliday back catalogue. It took place at an open-air concert at Islands Brygge on a hot summers day at a complete sold out concert.
No one could sing Billie Holiday with more passion but Kira Skov. Though Jazz is not my favorite music genre, I indeed enjoyed hearing Kira and the band performing.
(Many thanks to Kira for the set list)
