Joe Henderson Lab
A versatile young vocalist and bandleader whose taste for classic jazz spans the 20s through the 40s, Stella Heath brings an evening of music from the Great American Songbook.
Born in Novato and raised in Petaluma, Heath began singing at eight and was inspired by the Billie Holiday records in her mother’s collection. She spent the last two years of high school at Michigan’s prestigious Interlochen Arts Academy before acting studies in New York and a career as a working Shakespearean actor that took her from Florida to Beijing and all points in between.
Upon returning to the Bay Area in 2014, Heath dove headlong into music, assembling a series of groups that would honor areas of early jazz that she wanted to explore and bring to audiences, from the Roma jazz of Django Reinhardt and the traditional jazz of the 1920s to the swing of the 30s and 40s and a tribute program devoted to the life and music of Billie Holiday.
For this night, her highly anticipated return to the Joe Henderson Lab, Heath explores all this material and more, bringing her own fresh perspectives to those timeless compositions.
