The Devil’s Music: The Life and Blues of Bessie Smith

Blues singer Bessie Smith defined "Red Hot" in her singing–and her life. In The Devil’s Music, a long-running Off-Broadway show (and soon to play the Montreal Jazz Festival), acclaimed performer Miche Braden ("one of the sexiest women on or off Broadway") captures the soulful singing style and the feisty essence of the "Empress of the Blues."
