Holiday Memoir

«Non ero brava a ballare, ma a cantare sì. Ci misi cuore e anima, così come bisognerebbe fare quando si canta un blues. Quando ebbi finito, tutti stavano piangendo nella loro birra». Reno Brandoni racconta un'altra indimenticabile leggenda del jazz, Billie Holiday (1915-1959), attraverso la voce narrante di Debora Mancini. Un viaggio appassionato negli abissi più profondi del blues, per raccontare la storia di una delle più grandi cantanti jazz di tutti i tempi.

In Jrue Holiday: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball’s All-Star Point Guards, you'll learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's all-star guards, Jrue Holiday. Holiday has carved out a steady NBA career for himself, having been selected as an all-star back in just his fourth season, and having received a number of accolades including but not limited to All-Defensive First Team, Teammate of the Year, and the Sportsmanship Award.

If Billie Holiday wanted to become a jazz singer, she chose the best of all eras in which to attempt it. A wave of great jazz and jazz/pop crossover artists swept over the United States from the 1920s through the 1950s, generating a golden age for the genre. Emerging from such a powerful group of talented vocalists was not easy. The woman who has come to represent a model of great, instinctive jazz singing came from nowhere, had nothing, and virtually had no one. She was raw and untrained, but went forward with limited and quirky vocal gifts.
