Celebrating Anita O'Day's 100th birthday anniversary, this classic
and engaging memoir is a must read for anyone wanting a real look
behind the scenes at the 'golden age' of jazz. The New York Times
calls it, "a fascinating travelogue through the jazz world, filled
with vivid images of Gene Krupa, Stan Kenton, Roy Eldridge, and
Billie Holiday...Her prose is as hip as her music." O'Day was as
well known for her drug problems as her jazz; and this candid
memoir covers both in detail-starting out with her grisly 1966
overdose, then flashing back to tell all from the beginning. High
Times Hard Times presents an intimate portrait of a
larger-than-life jazz and big band singer-the success of her early
career, the tragedy of heroin addiction, her painful recovery, and
her ultimate triumph. An inspiring story. A real cut above the
usual down-and-dirty music-and-drugs confession.
