In this episode we hear comments by Dianne Reeves, Dr. Farah Jasmine Griffin, Robert O'Meally, Andromeda Turre, Adam Clayton Powell III, Fred Plotkin and Angela Davis along with songs including "The End of a Love Affair," "Violets for Your Furs",
"Don't Worry 'bout Me", "I Cried for You", and other compositions.
We also hear a touching story from Dan Morgenstern about the time he went to hear Billie at a small club in Boston, his two conversations with Billie between sets, and his fear that he stayed too long and wouldn't be able to pay the bill. And we conclude this episode with a definition of Jazz from Billie herself.
