Description

Billie "Lady Day" Holiday

circa 1948

Abstract

The haunting, anguished voice of Lady Day is one of the glories of music. I was fortunate to hear her at her peak, when Billie was making those wonderful small-band recordings with Teddy Wilson and under her own name, in the late 1930s and early 1940s .
