He was reading his poetry, accompanied by Mal Waldron, who played piano with Holiday in the late fifties. Holiday was banned from singing at bars that served drinks, due to a heroin conviction, but when she showed up to meet Waldron, was persuaded to perform.<br /><br /> Koch recalled the performance:<br />"It was very close to the end of her life, with her voice almost gone, just like a whisper, just like the taste of very old wine, but full of spirit ... Everybody wanted her to sing. Everybody was crazy about her."<br />(from City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O'Hara, by Brad Gooch)<br /><br />WKCR is in the middle of a weeklong tribute to Billie Holiday. It runs through Friday, and today is the second day of non-stop Holiday recordings. The station always runs a tribute to her on April 7th, but this one's extra special. <br /><br /><br />onemorefoldedsunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995652957356064546noreply@blogger.com
