Review:
"[A] sensitive, perceptive biography. . . [Nicholson] successfully portrays both the genius and the tragedy of the legendary Lady Day." --Publishers Weekly " A sensitive, perceptive biography. . . Nicholson successfully portrays both the genius and the tragedy of the legendary Lady Day." --Publishers Weekly "A worthy complement and counterpoint to Holiday's own account." --Library Journal "With perhaps more success than any biographer so far, Nicholson illuminates complexities in [Holiday's] personality, her art, and her times that made the singer a phenomenon of American culture. As good as he is in biographical detail, his greatest contribution is perspective on the singer's creative process."--Doug Ramsey, JazzTimes
About the Author:
Reissued in stunning new cover, to match the new edition of Nicholson's Billie Holiday
'This biography is a model not only of research, but of musical insight' Observer
'Just to state that this book is a full account of this splendid lady's life and times barely hints at the depth and detail which the indefatigable Nicholson has unearthed . . . A triumph' Crescendo & Jazz Music
'When it comes to the music Nicholson is right on' Washington Post
Nicholson is a shrewd critic, handling the roll-call of names from bebop and beyond with care and judgement . . . his discography is exemplary' The Times
'Knocks spots off earlier attempts at Ella's biography' The Wire
