4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Billie, November 27, 2002

By 

Nancy Moran (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blue Billie (Audio CD)

This is classic Billie Holiday but it's not the blues. It is remastered from the original and it sounds it. A lot of sax behind her and honky tonk piano orchestrated during the 30s. Billie is not Sarah Vaughan or Ella Fitzgerald. But she has a flair for "swing" music. There are some classic love songs on this album sure to bring about nostalgia. "Body and Soul", "Night and Day" are examples. If you want 30s "swing", this is the perfect album. The lyrics come right on through.
