| | Billie Holiday Rare Live Recordings 1935-1959 CD Billie Holiday Discography of CDs
The comprehensive set allows the listener to chart Holiday's development as an artist over the decades, providing an up-close, intimate experience that's markedly different from her studio dates. Most of these recordings were previously unavailable, and digital remastering adds a magnificent clarity and precision to the original tapes. As if this weren't enough, the set also comes with a beautiful booklet featuring photos, a timeline, and explanatory notes. LIVE RECORDINGS is a treasure.
This five-CD box set, which collects live Billie Holiday recordings made between 1935 and 1959, is a must for Lady Day fanatics. Arranged chronologically, the set begins with a young, energetic Holiday (barely out of her teens) performing with Duke Ellington, and continues straight through to her ragged, sometimes chilling later performances.
