O knihe
It All Started with Billie Holiday
chronicles the discovery of jazz by a young Greek boy
through his adult years. This is his personal odyssey
revealing rewarding relationships with noteworthy jazz
musicians, singers, and the many characters who inhabited
the colorful jazz life. It takes you inside jazz clubs,
backstage before and after those remarkable performances
that defined a musical genre of such incredible singers.
This is the remarkable story of how a Greek American boy
from New Hampshire, a child of immigrants, discovered this
culture of expression from everyday interaction with these
artists. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the
soul, sadness, and joy of Billie Holiday, Lester Young,
Dizzy Gillespie, Carmen McRae, Duke Ellington, Louis
Armstrong, Miles Davis, Gerry Mulligan, Chet Baker, Annie
Ross and others, and how their poignant life experiences
translated into such powerful, heart-stirring music, which
has been called America's classical music by many critics
and avid listeners.
