DVD includes rare film and television appearances as well as an audio rehearsal plus audio interviews with Billie Holiday, Billy Eckstine, Jimmy Rowles, Sylvia Syms, Roy Eldridge, Jo Jones, John Hammond and others.

Meticulously selected, lovingly assembled, and beautifully packaged, this two-CD/one-DVD collection is a true retrospective, featuring representative cuts from the length of Billie Holiday's career across a range of labels. While most compilations focus on one period of the legendary singer's career, THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION includes recordings Holiday cut for Decca, Verve, Columbia, Commodore, and others. The backing bands range from small combos to large ensembles, and include such luminaries as Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, Benny Goodman, Teddy Wilson, Johnny Hodges, Louis Armstrong, and Lester Young.

The set begins with Holiday's 1935 Brunswick dates. The chronological arrangement allows the listener to observe the transformation of Holiday's vocal style, from the light, buoyant early work through her definitive '40s middle period and on to her final sessions from the late '50s, when her voice was broken and life-torn. No matter the phase, Holiday's performances are masterful, gripping, and immediately seductive (not to mention--in cases like the 1939 recording of "Strange Fruit"--historically important). The DVD, which features 10 television and film performances, a timeline, and bonus audio features, is almost too good to be believed. Opinions will continue to differ about the "greatest female jazz vocalist," but be warned: THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION might make any case but Lady Day's hard to argue.

This 2-CD/DVD set includes a most comprehensive overview of the great Billie Holiday, both musically and visually. The DVD includes performances, her fim debut and fourother rare TV and film performances, plus full videos of Billie's biggest influences Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong. The DVD also includes firve rare audio tracks, ...

5 stars THE ULTIMATE!
Billie Holiday, The Ultimate Collection is definitely THE ULTIMATE Collection. It's a great opportunity to actually view Billie singing some of her greatest songs on the featured DVD. Especially for people in my generation who enjoy this genre of music and weren't around to see it as well as hear it. I was also introduced to A LOT more songs by Billie from the variety that are presented on the cds. I love it and absolutely recommend it for people who love Billie Holiday.
