Eric Dolphy Biography & Bibliography

Billie Holiday (Eleanor Gough McKay)

geboren: 7.April 1915, Philadelphia, Pennylvania, USA
gestorben: 17.Juli 1959, New York, New York, USA

Billie Holiday (1915-1959) war vor allem der durchscheinenden Authentizität ihres Vokalsounds wegen berühmt. Holiday gelang in ihren Interpretationen von Standards eine Glaubwürdigkeit, eine persönliche Betroffenheit wie kaum einer anderen Sängerin des Jazz. Sie beugt Töne, zieht Phrasen in die Länge, verkürzt andere, gibt den Stücken in ihrer klagend wirkenden Stimme ein oft verfremdetes, auf jeden Fall ungemein eigenes Gepräge. Holiday nahm 1939 die Komposition "Strange Fruit" auf, die sich textlich auf Rassismus und Lynchmorde in den amerikanischen Südstaaten bezog, ein bewegendes Protestlied, in dem Klang, Rhythmik und Melodik ihrer Stimme eine Emotionalität mitteilen wie selten eine andere Aufnahme der Jazzgeschichte.

Billie Holiday (Eleanor Gough McKay)

born: 7.April 1915, Philadelphia, Pennylvania, USA
died: 17.July 1959, New York, New York, USA

Billie Holiday (1915-1959) was especially known for the authenticity of her vocal sound. Her interpretations of standard popular songs earned became believable stories, seemingly personal stories more than with any other jazz singer. Sie bends notes, lengthens and shortens phrases, lends the pieces she sings a new quality by her extremely individual voice full of moaning and sorrow. In 1939 Holiday recorded "Strange Fruit", a moving piece of lyric reflecting upon racism and lynching in the American South, a protest song in which sound, rhythm, melody and her voice convey emotions so deep as few in jazz history.
