Pulled from old 78s, this isn't the place to start your Billie Holiday collection by a long shot. But this two-disc set is a pretty great overview of Lady Day's rise to greatness, featuring her own early sessions as well as her guest spots on a number of small- and big-band sides. Disc one finds her working with Teddy Wilson, Count Basie, Artie Shaw, and Eddie Heywood, while the second disc continues the thread with more sides with Wilson and Heywood, plus stray tracks with Paul Whiteman, Frankie Newton, and on her own. A nice chunk of early Lady Day. ~ Cub Koda

Recorded between 1935 and 1944. Includes liner notes by David Lennick.

Liner Note Author: David Lennick.

Personnel includes: Billie Holiday (vocals); Teddy Wilson Orchestra; Artie Shaw Orchestra; Eddie Heywood Orchestra; Count Basie Orchestra; Frankie Newton Orchestra.

4 stars Best of Billie
This contains many of the best of Billie Holiday songs with their classic jazz accompanyments that could be collector items alone. Since the songs are remastered, the reproduction while clear does seem somewhat diminished in volume. But if you like Billie Holiday you will like this CD.

Miles Davis Kind Of Blue CD  (1959) Bonus Track; Remastered

The Best of Billie Holiday (Intersound) album
CD $6.49  4.6 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
With BIRTH OF THE COOL, Miles Davis distilled a new tonal palette for jazz. As early as 1954, Miles reacted to the escalating chordal complexity of hard bop by fashioning an evocative blues based on a simple scalar pattern ("Swing Spring"). KIND OF BLUE was the ultimate fulfillment of this approach, with Miles providing his collaborators little more than outlines for melodies and simple scales for improvisation. By emphasizing the blues and the improvisor's melodic gifts, KIND OF BLUE precipitated a major stylistic development--modal jazz. Charles Mingus had experimented with pedal points throughout the 1950s, and the melodic freedom of Ornette Coleman's Atlantic sides was also predicated on freedom from chord changes. But KIND OF BLUE was to prove the most influential, enduring work of its kind. There was just such a vibe about these 1959 sessions--Miles' lyric genius and burgeoning stardom, the innovative voicings and rarefied touch of pianist Bill Evans, the electrifying presence of Coltrane and Cannonball--that some thirty-plus years ...

Its About Time
Garner Its About Time CD  (2009)

The Best of Billie Holiday (Intersound) music CDs
CD $15.19
After nine months of recording their debut album "It's About Time", Garner is storming the Canadian music scene. In the spring of 2006 the Hamilton-based band realized that as they played together something special was happening. The melding of rock, folk and jazz influences of all three members sent them down a musical path they had never explored. They had to race to keep up with the new songs, the busy performance schedule and the abundance of opportunities. Garner committed to an intense writing and recording schedule and sought out professionals who could help them find their way.

They soon found themselves recording at the Canterbury Music Company, home to one of their major influences-the Barenaked Ladies. They were also ...
