In 2017, Billy recorded, Rebirth and picked up a Grammy Award for Best Jazz album in 2018. I loved "Rebirth" and ranked it in my Top 3 albums of the year. So, I was excited to learn that Billy Childs just released a new recording on August 28, 2020 on the Mack Avenue Record label called, "Acceptance” and just like "Rebirth", it is a memorable and an instant classic recording.
This is a fun interview with Billy Childs, were we play "20 Questions" at first he was reluctant but by the end of the interview we chatted for over an hour, and went deep into topics he normally does not get a chance to talk about.
