Jerry Dantzic | Billie Holiday at Sugar Hill

In 1957, New York photojournalist Jerry Dantzic spent time with Billie Holiday during a weeklong run of performances at the Newark, NJ nightclub Sugar Hill. The resulting images offer a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the iconic singer with her family, friends and her pet Chihuahua, Pepi.

Author Grayson Dantzic shares behind-the-scenes stories and images from his 17 year journey making his book JERRY DANTZIC: BILLIE HOLIDAY AT SUGAR HILL, and passes along the lessons he learned along the way, and tips on how you can apply it to your own work.

Grayson helps to define some of the responsibilities of being an archivist, using his new book as a prime example of what can be accomplished with perseverance and belief in a specifically defined project.
