This is not a good demonstration of Billie Holliday. First, too many songs squeezed into each side. Sound not good. For me, it was a waste of money. One of her best is the Billie Holiday-Lester Young CD " a musical romance"

I recommend this to anyone that likes smooth jazz and wants mood music for Christmas gatherings. It helps make Christmas parties seem more festive.

There isn't much I can say about this beautiful movie, except that it was so touching! It say's go for the "true love", settle for nothing else no matter what may be in store, because love that is "true" and as beautiful as their's was, is a rare thing! I absolutely loved the ending. I also loved that a movie CAN be truly wonderful, beautiful and touching WITHOUT grafic "sex scenes!" Also sadly a rare thing in movies today. Ever seen "Hanover Street?" Equally beautiful. No SEX scenes either! Angelfish

There are only 13 cuts on this CD--but what a great set of cuts they are! Billie Holiday was a star-crossed talent. But her talent was real, and this CD provides concrete evidence of that. Some of her best works are included, although 13 cuts cannot possibly do justice to her complete oeuvre. Let's take a look at a sampling of the songs. "Miss Brown to You": Benny Goodman plays with the Todd Wilson Orchestra--a nice group to accompany Holliday. She displays a smooth, rich voice. The words are clear and easy to pick up. This is a short song, and it is well sung. It is evocative. Nice instrumental backing! "Billie's Blues": This song is backed by her own orchestra, with Bunny Berrigan and Artie Shaw--not bad! Nice blues sensibility. Some nice ... Read More

This one is a must-have if you want to assemble a top-flight Billie Holiday collection. All the recordings were made between 1935-1942 when her perfect natural voice was still like a bell, and her musical instincts were in full bloom. Unlike her later recordings, there is no sign of the sad toll her lifestyle took on her voice. The best treat in this candy dish is hearing her sing with Count Basie on the piano, in THEY CAN'T TAKE THAT AWAY FROM ME. The Sony remasterings are brilliant and even, and very far above the so-so quality of most Lady Day anthologies - don't pass this one up. A NOTE ABOUT THE ALBUM COVER ART - Take a look at the second version of the cover art with Holiday's portrait - this is the cover of the CD we picked up.

6.Remixed & Reimagined by: Billie Holiday August 07, 2007

Every song is perfectly remixed with an ambiance of House, Down Tempo, Trip Hop, Funk, and Acid Jazz. If you want to hear Billie Holiday in her natural style then buy the original Billie CD's but if you love remixes that take the past and make it a blast for todays generation, this is it!!! The flow of the CD never misses a beat. Each song is perfect in its remix style. This is much better then the Nina remix because it's smoother and the producers really meshed Billie Holidays vocals and original music to the new remix style they intended. Once again, if your looking for original Billie this is not the CD for you but if you want original Billie with a bit of Cayenne Pepper this is it!!!!

Does it help to be a MASOCHIST in order to fully ABSORB this AWESOME product?.....well, yes, perhaps, but so does HAMLET...... A PREPOSTEROUS analogy? Not really----- What SHAKESPEARE does with the written word, Ms. Holiday ACHIEVES through the DEEPEST, DARKEST of voyages up there with the very best in art.... Entire books could (and have?) be written about this EXCEPTIONAL, controversial work of HUMANITY, but we shall be relatively brief...... That the artist was perhaps DRUGGED, half- drunk when performing these gems is an ETERNAL dilemma of popular music that this writer will not go into, except to state the fact that whatever it took to bring this RAW INTENSITY out was more than acceptable, given the circumstances-----was POLLOCK DRUNK mad? Was MILES flying high on who knows what? ... Read More

The first time I heard Billie Holiday's voice was when my parents were visiting friends. I looked over their record collection and asked if I might play this Billie Holiday one. (I had never heard of her.) From the first song to the last, I was crazy about her. The cut called "You're My Thrill" was unlike anything I had ever heard before. All these years later, I never forgot that first experience and looked for this music at Amazon. Lucky for me, I found it.
