WKCR offers all-Holiday music

By DAVID HINCKLEY
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

WKCR (89.9 FM) has put its money on great jazz artists for decades
now, and for two weeks starting tomorrow, it's betting 2-4/7 on Billie
Holiday.

To honor what would have been Holiday's 90th birthday next Thursday,
WKCR is playing the complete Holiday catalogue starting tomorrow and
running through April 15.

Actually, this being WKCR, her recordings are only the start of it.
The relentless jazz department has scarfed

up every studio recording, outtake, live recording, TV show, radio
show, interview and random breath she ever took within pickup distance
of a microphone.

The two weeks will also be punctuated with commentary by hosts like
Phil Schaap, whose narratives are a signature of 'KCR marathons.

Happily, WKCR's recent antenna upgrade has made programs like this
more accessible to many people who lost the signal when WKCR lost its
antenna on 9/11. The entire Holiday event will also be available on
the Web at www.wkcr.org.
