Biography

Only the blues valued singers who sang as if they'd lived the trials and tribulations of their lyrics. Holiday changed all that, marshalling a memorable amalgam of infallible technique, indubitable spirit, and what would come to be called "soul". Born in Baltimore in the 1910s, she… Read more in Amazon's Billie Holiday Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of Billie's Best, October 24, 2005
By 
J. Brady (PAWLEYS ISLAND, SC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Music for Torching: The Billie Holiday Story, Vol. 5 (Audio CD)
Billie Holiday is here joined by small Jazz combos for some of the best vocal performaces of her later years. Her vocals are warm, rich and full of nuances. Her interpretive powers are still very strong and these standards are all given the unmistakable Holiday stamp. I love the way Billie sings around the beat like an instrumentalist would when taking a solo. This set is as good as anything you will hear from Billie Holiday's later years, and I can highly recommend it.

This review is from: Music for Torching: The Billie Holiday Story, Vol. 5 (Audio CD)

The music is great as you would expect but the real bonus with this CD is the editing and the re-mastering. Beautiful job. Thanks
