    Billie Holiday The Musician and the Myth

    Windmill Books

    Published in celebration of Holiday's centenary, the first biography to focus on the singer's extraordinary musical talent.

    Drawing on a vast amount of new material that has surfaced in the last decade, critically acclaimed jazz writer John Szwed considers how her life inflected her art, her influences, her uncanny voice and rhythmic genius, a number of her signature songs, and her legacy.
