Inhaltsangabe

Ella Fitzgerald lived to sing - and not only because she sang so superlatively well. Only in the ecstatic excitement of performance could she leave behind a life that was often unhappy: the voice that transported generations of listeners took Ella herself to a place where she was in control. This remarkable biography cuts through the legend of Ella to the reality, but it reaches the woman by setting the singer where she always wanted to be: on centre stage. The first biographer to place Ella's music firmly in the foreground, Stuart Nicholson ends up creating by far the fullest picture yet of one of the most enigmatic, but unforgettable personalities in jazz.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

SALES POINTS Reissued in stunning new cover, to match the new edition of Nicholson's Billie Holiday 'This biography is a model not only of research, but of musical insight' Observer 'Just to state that this book is a full account of this splendid lady's life and times barely hints at the depth and detail which the indefatigable Nicholson has unearthed ... A triumph' Crescendo & Jazz Music 'When it comes to the music Nicholson is right on' Washington Post Nicholson is a shrewd critic, handling the roll-call of names from bebop and beyond with care and judgement ... his discography is exemplary' The Times 'Knocks spots off earlier attempts at Ella's biography' The Wire
