    Another beautiful and extraordinary artist. They don't make them like her anymore.

    A classic! Unfortunately - as so often - damn copyright issues mean I can't access this version from Germany :-(

    This is lovely - I really like her early work much more than her later stuff, primarily because I prefer the club-combo sound to the more heavily produced big band fare. The smaller groups both contributed the virtuosity of her compatriots and gave her room to play, which was her real forte.

    Thanks for the [now Sunday morning] smile.

    Thank you all for enjoying the music with me. :-)

    Francis - oh, I hate that. This is my only easy and free means to bringing music to my blog, unfortunately.

    CR - ditto on Billie's early work.

    Aguja - I love your enthusiasm! sending a hug

    Summer Kitchen - I can really see Billie Holiday going over well in the summer kitchen. Thanks for the lovely visit.

    Becky - The Pagan Sphinx Lounge - I like it!! I may just have to use that as a title for a feature. Thank you, Becky!
