Billie Holiday - The Essential Brunswick Recordings (2014)

The music showcased on this 3 disc collection dates from 1935 to 1939, the period immediately following Holiday signing to Brunswick Records, and is still regarded by many as representing the peak of her output. In four short years Billie Holiday would rise from the status of an unknown to one of America s foremost song stylists. Jazz pianist Teddy Wilson,who worked extensively with her at that time, raved about her talent: She could sing for five seconds and her name was written all over the music. So lend this comprehensive collection an ear and prepare to be serenaded, seduced and amazed by the incomparable Billie Holiday.
