Billie Holiday: Complete Decca Recordings

Rating: ★★★★

Record and Artist Details

Label:

Essential Jazz Classics

June/2017

Cut between 1944 and 1950, this is largely Billie with big bands and studio orchestras, negotiating strings and occasionally over-written charts, but doing so with aplomb and complete security in her vocal prowess, before her voice declined, but with the wisdom of experience.
