A June 2020 Library Journal Starred Review
Lee stood out among her peers as an exquisite singer possessing a cool vocal style, a songwriter frequently collaborating with leading composers of American jazz and film music, and a globally-loved entertainer with star quality. Tish Oney sheds new light upon this Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner’s impressive musical talents while guiding the reader through the best of Lee’s fifty-plus albums, radio and TV performances, creative contributions to the film industry, and over half a century of finely-polished live performances.
Oney focuses on the evolution of Peggy Lee’s recorded music, vocal development, artistic achievements, and contributions to American music while interviews with Lee’s family, friends, and music colleagues reveal new insights and memories of this musical icon. Peggy Lee enables readers to discover a brilliant artist’s inimitable legacy in the history of American popular music.
Tish Oney has appeared as soloist with symphony orchestras, big bands, and jazz combos at performing arts centers, concert halls, and jazz festivals throughout the world. Possessing a doctorate in jazz from USC, she has taught at scores of institutions as a professor and artist-in-residence, successfully pursuing a dual career in performance and pedagogy. As musicologist, author, jazz singer, lyric soprano, arranger, composer, and conductor, Dr. Oney performs and teaches worldwide. She composes and arranges a wide variety of commissioned concerts and writes peer-reviewed articles on jazz theory and voice pedagogy as well as books about music.
