Lady
Day: The Many Faces of Billie Holiday
by Robert G. O'Meally
"Billie Holiday deserves a biography in which her musicianship isn't
overshadowed by the tragic events of her life. O'Meally has written that
book," says Entertainment Weekly about this absorbing and authoritative
account of the greatest jazz singer in history. O'Meally emphasizes Holiday's
artistry and training rather than her personal miseries, and he uses voluminous
archival material to correct common myths about Holiday. Chronicling her
rigorous musical apprenticeship in Baltimore, her reception in New York
by Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington, and her work with various musicians,
particularly Lester Young, Lady Day is an impassioned testament to Holiday's
genius that confirms her place in American jazz. Amazon.com
