3 shades of blue : Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans and the lost empire of cool / James Kaplan.

1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. '3 Shades of Blue' is a magnificent, blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City.

Bitter crop : the heartache and triumph of Billie Holiday's last year / Paul Alexander.

'Bitter Crop' is an unconventional portrait of arguably America's most eminent jazz singer. Acclaimed biographer Paul Alexander shrewdly focuses on the last year of Billie Holiday's life - with relevant flashbacks to provide context - to evoke and examine the persistent magnificence of her 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. During her lifetime and after her death, Billie Holiday was often depicted as a down-on-her-luck junkie severely lacking in self-esteem. Relying on interviews with people who knew her and new material unearthed in private collections and institutional archives, 'Bitter Crop' limns Holiday as a powerful, ambitious woman who overcame her flaws to triumph as a vital figure of American popular music.

Blues people / LeRoi Jones.

In this essential and impassioned text, LeRoi Jones traces the intertwined development of blues and jazz music with the history of its creators in 'White America'. As important and relevant as at its first publication in 1963, it shows how music and its people are inseparable - expressing and reflecting the other, surviving and adapting through oppression.

Dave Brubeck : a life in time / Philip Clark.

In 2003, music journalist Philip Clark was granted unparalleled access to jazz legend Dave Brubeck. Over the course of ten days, he shadowed the Dave Brubeck Quartet during their extended British tour, recording an epic interview with the bandleader. Brubeck opened up as never before, disclosing his unique approach to jazz; the heady days of his 'classic' quartet in the 1950s-60s; hanging out with Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, and Miles Davis; and the many controversies that had dogged his 66-year-long career. Alongside beloved figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra, Brubeck's music has achieved name recognition beyond jazz. But finding a convincing fit for Brubeck's legacy, one that reconciles his mass popularity with his advanced musical technique, has proved largely elusive.

A whole scene going on : inside the sixties - from Private Eye to the pop revolution / Barry Fantoni.

A Whole Scene Going On covers Barry Fantoni's working - and sometimes not working - life from his first sell-out one-man show in 1963 to the point in the late Sixties when the swinging decade merged into the political unrest of the Seventies. The memoir begins with his early days at Private Eye and his first meeting with Peter Cook, and then covers his work as an illustrator and painter and his television career (Barry was voted Male TV Personality of the Year in 1966). From teaching the Sex Pistols how to draw at Croydon Art School and writing a song for Marianne Faithfull to finding a harmonium for Paul McCartney and his lifelong friendship with Ray Davies of the Kinks, Barry's account of the Sixties is a wry and observational gem.

As serious as your life : John Coltrane and beyond / Valerie Wilmer.

As essential now as when it was first published in 1977, 'As Serious As Your Life' celebrates the new black music of the 1960s and 70s, powerfully capturing one of the most dynamic and revolutionary musical movements of the 20th century. Combining first-hand reportage with a historian's eye for the broader picture of American life and politics, Wilmer evokes brilliantly the rich musical legacy of Black America and a celebration of its drive towards innovation and experimentation - the same drive that has re-emerged today in the work of a new generation of black artists. Wilmer evaluates the musical careers of the big names of the time - Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra and Cecil Taylor - and those of less-known artists.

Lady sings the blues / Billie Holiday.

'I've been told that no one sings the word 'hunger' like I do. Or the word 'love''. This is the inimitable autobiography of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century. Born to a single mother in 1915 Baltimore, Billie Holiday had her first run-in with the law at aged 13. But Billie Holiday is no victim. Her memoir tells the story of her life spent in jazz, smoky Harlem clubs and packed-out concert halls, her love affairs, her wildly creative friends, her struggles with addiction and her adventures in love.

Billie Holiday : the musician & the myth / John Szwed.

When 18-year-old Billie Holiday stepped into Columbia studios in November of 1933 to record 'Riffin' the Scotch' and 'Your Mother's Son-in-Law', it marked the beginning of what is arguably the most remarkable and important career in 20th-century popular music. Today, Billie Holiday is an icon - an artist whose voice has weathered countless shifts in public taste, and whose impact on contemporary music is unquestionable. Eschewing the more tragic aspects of her life, John Szwed's biography stays close to her music, to her performance style and to the self she created and put on record and on stage.
