Born in Baltimore in 1915 Billie Holiday, affectionately known as Lady Day is up there amongst the great iconic jazz giants of the 20th century. She booked her place alongside the immortals Bird, Prez, Miles, Duke, Satchmo, Diz, Ella, Bessie by both living the kind of life you could not have made up and singing with a such an anguished and emotive voice that reflected the life she was living! AVID's Essential Billie Holiday collection charts her rise to fame from 1935 as vocalist with Teddy Wilson to starting out on her own the following year, through to 1955, four years before her untimely death at just 44.
