â€œYoung kids always ask me what my style is derived from, how it evolved,
and everything else. What can I tell them? If you find a tune and itâ€™s
got something to do with you, you donâ€™t have to evolve anything. You just
feel it, and when you sing it other people can feel something too.â€ 1

LADY DAYâ€¦ Behind the evocation of the nickname bequeathed to Billie
Holiday by her friend Lester Young lurks a hint of legend. Born in Baltimore in
1915, Billie Holiday led a chaotic existence, her private life sometimes taking
a dramatic turn. Nevertheless, over the 44 years of her life, this
African-American woman forged an extraordinary career for herself, blazing a
unique and lasting trail in the world of jazz and beyond.

More than any other vocalist, Billie Holiday doesnâ€™t just sing, she
literally lives the songs she sings. â€œHer art rests much more on a
hand-to-hand struggle with text and melody, on a total investment in what
becomes an intense moment of a gigantic, moving and authentic drama: her own. In
other words, beyond the vocal performance, and its fading, in its slips,
remainsâ€”and even amplifiesâ€”the emotional power, intact, almost
heightened by the reality of hardship and suffering.â€ 2
Lady Dayâ€™s career is of course not limited to her recordings, official or
otherwise, but today they are the only truly living testimony to her artâ€¦
