This was last evening's listening experience. A pleasure. Billie Holiday ..... Not something that I would have listened to as recently as ten years ago. Fortunately I've since managed to evolve beyond an apparent state of clueless. Jazz vocals from the 1940's and 50's. A compilation of recordings. One of the greatest voices in history. Some of the songs were recorded on 78's and sound a bit scratchy but that only adds to the ambiance.
The great Jazz bassist, Charles Mingus is playing on some of the tunes.
I found the compact disc earlier in the day at the public library's annual book sale. Fifty cents for great music!! A bargain!! Note that her first name was spelled incorrectly on the album cover.
