Description

Anita O'Day's 100th birthday anniversary is marked by this candid and engaging memoir, offering a unique look behind the scenes of the 'golden age' of jazz. With vivid images of key figures from the era, including those who struggled with addiction, O'Day shares her own story in detail. From the tragic events of 1966 to her early success and painful recovery, this memoir presents an intimate portrait of a larger-than-life jazz singer. It is a story of triumph over adversity, one that sets it apart from typical music-and-drugs confessions. A fascinating account of life in the jazz world, High Times Hard Times is a compelling read for anyone interested in the genre and its history.
