Their voices and careers paths were markedly different, but no one would dispute that Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald were the two preeminent vocalists of American jazz. Billie Holiday, the tragic heroine of jazz history, who's voice is recognizable from the first syllable. Ella Fitzgerald, who's almost superhuman voice and improvisatory skill has yet to be matched. Classic recordings, vintage video clips, and live performances from the lecturer will keep this class lively and swinging!
