Product Details

Billie Holiday recorded for Commodore, Decca, Verve, and Columbia across a career that stretched from the mid-1930s through 1959, and the differences between those sessions reveal just how much she communicated through texture and timing alone. Singers from Cassandra Wilson to Norah Jones have cited her phrasing as a foundational study, less in notes than in space and breath.

The timeless artistry of Billie Holiday is something that every generation gets to discover for themselves. The iconic songs on this collection showcase Holiday's unique ability to infuse every lyric with unparalleled emotion and depth. With her distinctive voice and incomparable phrasing, Holiday remains an enduring performer and a powerful influence on generations of musicians. Great Women Of Song is a testament to Holiday's profound legacy and an essential addition to any music collection.
