Jazz pianist and Guggenheim Fellow Billy Childs was 11 years old when his older sister introduced him to the work of singer-songwriter Laura Nyro (1947-1997), and her blend of Broadway-inspired melodies, jazz improvisation and socially conscious lyrics has stayed with him throughout his acclaimed career. Childs recreates his 2015 Grammy-winning tribute, Map to the Treasure: Reimagining Laura Nyro, with new generation artists rediscovering Nyro's songs made famous by Barbra Streisand, The 5th Dimension, Patti LaBelle, and Blood, Sweat & Tears.
