Description

BILLIE HOLIDAY (1915 - 1959)

Lady Day est née Eleanora Fagan. Combien faut-il de souffrance pour exprimer l’amour, la douleur, le désespoir ou la vie ? Peu de chanteuses ont transmis l’émotion comme Billie Holiday. Un père guitariste de jazz qui ne reconnait pas sa fille, plus intéressé par la vie nocturne que par la vie de famille, une mère femme de ménage, cuisinière et prostituée occasionnelle, qui laisse sa fille entre tantes et maisons de redressement,une vie de violence, de viol et d’abus de toute sorte. Entre prostitution, prison, et quelques prestations dans les bouges où la générosité de la clientèle est le seul espoir de rémunération, Billie décroche un enregistrement à 18 ans chez Columbia. C’est le début d’une reconnaissance, qui à travers les années ne se dément pas. Peu de voix ces quatre-vingts dernières années ont été capables d’émouvoir les cœurs comme Billie Holiday a su les émouvoir.

The history of music shows us that different kinds and forms follow each other. And that the latest trend overshadows the one that came before it. Today it's difficult to say exactly which trend dominates, as there are so many music currents that overlap and intersect. Mainstream exists no longer. Yet one thing is certain: each music form is built on the music that precedes it. There would be no jazz without classical music, no rock without blues, no rock without jazz, no rap without soul music, no sampling without the riffs of either soul or rock… and therefore, inside each genre you find different chapters in the history of music. And that is why it is so important to understand their origins: they shed the light that is necessary for an understanding of the music born every day.
The richness of jazz lies at the origin of so much music today that it is essential to discover this creative wealth. The Essential Works of Masters of Jazz bring to light those 20th century creations that still exert an influence on the majority of musicians today — whether they are aware of it or not.

The Essential Works of Masters of Jazz gather the fundamental creations of the music of today.
