Out of all of her recordings that I own, this is easily my favorite. It shows her incredible range of emotion and talent. It may be rude to say this, but I find her much better than Billie Holiday. Nina has better emotionality, in my opinion. If you only buy one, let it be this one.

if you are thinking of buying one of Nina's cd's this is a perfect pick!! This cd has jazz, blues, and get you up dancing music all in one! I also love Single Woman but this album is great fun and gets regular play at our house, everyone says "who is this? she is great?". Too bad I didn't get to see her live when she came to the states!!

This really is an excellent CD! Philips is to be commended for putting two excellent albums onto one CD. The title says it all--Nina really does let it all out, vocally, that is. This remarkable artist tackles everything in the music book---Ellington songs, Billie Holiday ballads, R&B, soul, pop---she can do it all. It's amazing how she takes songs of Billie Holiday (there are 3 here) and remakes them into her own. The covers are just as good, if not better, than the original Lady Day versions. Nina's warm, soothing voice just washes you over and caresses you, and if need be--even jolts you--on some of the songs. Sound quality is excellent.

My CD was scratched even though it was sold as factory sealed. For me that meant that it should not have been scratched and four of the tracks un-listenable. I am not happy with the purchase.

Timely delivery, satisfactory packaging. Merchandise is as as discribed:unopened and CD as new. Needless to say, the content lived up to the artist's best. Totally satisfying experience.

Thank you
