Billie Holiday. (16 page comic book + 2 CD)

Book Summary

Of all the female jazz singers, Billie Holiday was the most moving. Of course, others illustrated jazz song in ways that were more technical, more brilliant or more spectacular, but none ever reached the same degree of intensity in performing even the tiniest song, none ever made the melodies her own with so much strength, and none of them ever picked out the lyrics with such accents of truth. CD1 presents the dark, almost tragic side of Billie, while CD2 shows her in a less familiar light: a jubilant singer who knew exactly what the word 'swing' meant.
