About this book
Ella Fitzgerald: The Complete Biography of First Lady of Jazz, Updated Edition by Nicholson, Stuart. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780415971195.
Stuart Nicholsons biography of Ella Fitzgerald is considered a classic in jazz literature. Drawing on original documents, interviews, and new information, Nicholson draws a complete picture of Fitzgeralds professional and personal life. Fitzgerald rose from being a pop singer with chart-novelty hits in the late 30s to become a bandleader and then one of the greatest interpreters of American popular song. Along with Billie Holiday, she virtually defined the female voice in jazz, and countless others followed in her wake and acknowledged her enormous influence. Also includes two 8-page inserts.
