1.0 out of 5 stars Great artist recorded badly, May 18, 2000

This review is from: Best of Billie Holiday (Audio CD)

5.0 out of 5 stars the very best of the best of anything, May 24, 2000

This review is from: Best of Billie Holiday (Audio CD)
this set of cds is the embodiment of jazz. billie holiday has such a unique voice. some might complain of the bad recording quality, but in my opinion, it upholds the time period and gives you a feel for the era. i recommend this cd for any blues/jazz fan.
