Dinah Washington

The biography of Dinah Washington by Christian Bonnet , illustrated by Fred Salsedo and accompanied by 2 compact discs.

In just a few short years, she led several careers at the same time. His culture, between church and cabaret, his salty-sweet voice, between cry and confidence, his tumultuous life and his great professional conscience allowed him to sing the blues like no one else, to delight rhythm and blues lovers and thus to find himself at the top of the "hit parades", while the jazz fan regularly found her among her heroes, Clifford Brown , Wynton Kelly , Clark Terry , Ben Webster and a hundred others.

In the land of jazz, in any case, Dinah counts, with a few others, among those rare ones who have shaken the old myth of the holy Trinity Billie-Ella-Sarah .
