Who is this young woman who resignedly watches her companion dance with his latest conquest? Who is this young woman thrown to the ground by her fickle companion? Who is this scorned young woman who sings a poignant blues to ward off her misfortune?
Eleanora Harris Fagan, known as Billie Holiday (1915-1959), first appeared on screen in Duke Ellington's Symphony in Black (1935).
Her sad situation seems to announce the sad fate of Billie Holiday (1915-1959), that of a musician condemned to pay an extraordinary gift for singing by a life obscured from beginning to end by misery, prostitution, racism, the alcohol and drugs that will eventually burn his wings.
The singer's untimely death transformed her fate into a myth. For many, she embodies the figure of the accursed artist, alongside other tragic heroes of 20th century music, Charlie Parker, or, in another register, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin.
Two researchers, John Szwed and Robert O’Meally, recently demonstrated that this myth was partly constructed by Holiday herself, in her autobiography Lady Sings the Blues (1956).
This record provides us with a musical counterpart to this new interpretation of the life and work of Billie Holiday, with 13 tracks recorded by the singer from 1935 to 1939, during the first golden age of her career.
