BITTER CROP: The Heartache and Triumph of Billie Holiday's Last Year
Alexander shrewdly focuses on the last year of life for America's most eminent jazz singer--with relevant flashbacks to provide context--to evoke and examine the persistent magnificence of Holiday's artistry when it was supposed to have declined in the wake of her drug abuse, relationships with violent men, and run-ins with the law. Photos.
