Reviews
Praise for Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth "Mr. Szwed, the author of acclaimed studies of Miles Davis, Sun Ra and folklorist Alan Lomax, is at his best when excavating hidden stories behind some of the more durable pillars of the Holiday legend." --The Wall Street Journal " Revelatory . . . Szwed's book is one of the most briskly revealing pieces of jazz biography that I've read." -- Richard Brody, The New Yorker "[Szwed] offers a portrait of Lady Day as artist and mythmaker rather than tragic victim . . . . As with the best of Holiday's music, this elegant and perceptive study is restrained, nuanced, and masterfully carried out." --Kirkus (starred review) Praise for Alan Lomax: The Man Who Recorded the World "Factually tireless and fluently analytical, Szwed gamely corrals a great river of events, efforts, and discoveries into a straight-ahead portrait of an intrepid, culture-defining artist and humanist." --Booklist ( Starred review) "Szwed is a sensitive interpreter of music. . . he is meticulous about the work, and makes a strong case for Lomax as a central figure in the history of American music." --The New Yorker "A keenly appreciative, enormously detailed new Lomax biography." --The New York Times "John Szwed has written a graceful and informative cradle-to-grave study that's a perfect marriage of author and subject." -- Douglas Brinkley, Texas Monthly Praise for So What: The Life of Miles Davis "Szwed offers crisply detailed backstories to such masterpieces as Sketches of Spain , Round About Midnight and Miles Ahead . His prose has a musical pulse, and he highlights the most significant element of Davis's soul: 'he told every woman he became involved with that music always came first, before family, children, lovers, friends.' Davis's music has been called a 'divine disease,' and this in-depth study clarifies the nature of that compulsive, satisfying malady in a way that will enlighten listeners and musicians." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Space is the Place: The Lives and Times of Sun Ra "Szwed has produced a rare jazz biography--one that takes full account of the history that shaped the music and its central personalities. An anthropologist, historian and musicologist who teaches at Yale, Szwed brings an impressive array of skills to this job. He needs them all to track down a subject whose every word seems intended to protect him from scrutiny." -- Brent Staples, The New York Times Book Review, Praise for Billie Holiday: The Musician and the Myth "Mr. Szwed, the author of acclaimed studies of Miles Davis, Sun Ra and folklorist Alan Lomax, is at his best when excavating hidden stories behind some of the more durable pillars of the Holiday legend." --The Wall Street Journal " Revelatory . . .

Synopsis
* Kirkus Best Books of 2015 selection for Biography * Published in celebration of Holiday's centenary, the first biography to focus on the singer's extraordinary musical talent When Billie Holiday stepped into Columbia's studios in November 1933, it marked the beginning of what is arguably the most remarkable and influential career in twentieth-century popular music. Her voice weathered countless shifts in public taste, and new reincarnations of her continue to arrive, most recently in the form of singers like Amy Winehouse and Adele. Most of the writing on Holiday has focused on the tragic details of her life--her prostitution at the age of fourteen, her heroin addiction and alcoholism, her series of abusive relationships--or tried to correct the many fabrications of her autobiography. But now, Billie Holiday stays close to the music, to her performance style, and to the self she created and put into print, on record and on stage. Drawing on a vast amount of new material that has surfaced in the last decade, critically acclaimed jazz writer John Szwed considers how her life inflected her art, her influences, her uncanny voice and rhythmic genius, a number of her signature songs, and her legacy., Kirkus Best Books of 2015 selection for Biography Published in celebration of Holiday s centenary, the first biography to focus on the singer s extraordinary musical talent When Billie Holiday stepped into Columbia s studios in November 1933, it marked the beginning of what is arguably the most remarkable and influential career in twentieth-century popular music.
