Items related to Jazz Singers: The Great Song Stylists in Their Own...
Nat "King" Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and Sarah Vaughan are among the twenty unforgettable vocalists presented in lively interviews by such fine music commentators as Leonard Feather, Max Jones, and Ren Grevatt, coupled with classic photos by William Claxton, Herman Leonard, David Redfern, and other camera artists.
Culled from the pages of the respected music weekly Melody Maker, the perspectives and opinions of jazz greats are presented in their own words-from Nina Simone's uncompromising views about racial equality and her reputation as a "difficult" performer to Billie Holiday's account of how she was dubbed "Lady Day" to Louis Armstrong's commentary on the popularity of jazz in Europe. Brief bios and details of key recordings are also included.
