  1. #BillieHoliday (1915-1959)

    On ne peut copier personne et obtenir quelque chose de valable. Si tu copies, cela signifie que tu travailles sans véritable émotion. Aucun être humain sur terre n’est identique à un autre, et il faut que ce soit ainsi en musique, sinon ce n’est pas de la musique.

  2. Great suggestion for a Sunday morning:

    “Could you call on Lady Day?
    Could you call on John Coltrane?
    Now, ‘cause they’ll, they’ll wash your troubles,
    Your troubles, your troubles
    Your troubles away”

  4. For #MusicMonday, I offer a story.

    Years ago, when my bff was getting married, I struggled to come up with a wedding gift that would suit both her and her guy. It had to be #music, because of course. Through a long and complex process I no longer recall, I decided on a set of #BillieHoliday's collected works on #Verve, on #vinyl.

    I remember wrapping them in dark blue tissue paper, and because my friend would be wearing ecru because she found it far more elegant than white, I used white lace ribbon that I'd dyed in tea.

    I was mostly a #PostPunk kid back then, but #LadyDay had taken me over, and for a long while after - 3 months? a year? - I could barely listen to anything else. My listening eventually widened again, but I kept her with me.

    Thus, on this Monday evening many years later, I find myself listening to this gorgeous new #VerveRecords Acoustic Sounds Series pressing of “Songs for Distingué Lovers."

  5. Beneath the layers of hurt
    beneath the ragged laughter
    I heard a willingness to endure
    ENDURE & make music
    that wasn't there before

    That's all well and good, but I'm afraid we're going to need a recording of Billie Holiday singing that. #LadyDay
