Billie Holiday was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and musical partner Lester Young, Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo.
The recordings Billie Holiday made between 1933 and 1944 for Columbia and its associated labels represent not only her finest work, but American jazz and pop singing at its zenith. Here she is accompanied by a who's who of the swing era.. Lester Young, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Buck Clayton, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, Teddy Wilson and many more.
