Comment:
My tribute to the ultimate female voice. It wasn't just her sublime tones which made these records so remakably good and endurable. The brilliance of the musicians backing her, such as Teddy Wilson and Lester Young, make these recordings, and many others from Billie, the most important pre-rock n roll romantic records. Apologies for the unoriginal title. It sums it up.Feedback:
Ooh... nice one, Gerry. I vaguely contemplated doing this awhile ago, but I don't have quite enough stuff from each of her "periods" to do so (I have the Verve and Commodore stuff, with access to the Decca stuff, but no Columbia). At some point, I may want a copy of this, my friend (but NO rush--I'm just getting caught up with trades now and need a bit of a break lol). Did you get the Fellows mix yet?
This reminds me that I haven't heard nearly enough Billie Holiday.
Thanks Mo. If you want it just let me know, and I'll mail you a copy.
This looks absolutely lovely. I would LOVE a copy.
Really good stuff.
Looks great Mr. MacDonald. I'm a bit surprised that you didn't include Strange Fruit, her chart-topping mega-hit.
Gerry, you kick much ass as usual. Save me a copy.
Thanks to all. I didn't include Strange Fruit because it's not one of my favourites. I know how important and successful it was but it doesn't do much for me. Copies going out this week sometime.
Oh yeah... "Strange Fruit". I'm with Ion on that one, as it is definitely one of my favorites. It says something in favor of this mix, though, that I didn't notice its absence until now... and the mix is still great.
