From Dr. Bella: Eva Cassidy died from metastasis secondary to melanoma at the tender age of 33. This video is compelling. The performance at the Blues Alley nightclub in the historic Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, DC, wowed the crowd on January 2nd and 3rd, 1996. Just ten months later on November 2, 1996 she departed from this earth. She was known for her interpretations of jazz, folk and blues music, sung with a powerful, emotive soprano voice. This video has her bandmates watching and remembering this force of nature.
