I’d be happy to have Storyville as my lone Holiday title if that’s the way it shakes down. Stan Getz plays sax on three songs which is pretty cool. But I get the most kicks out of following Billie’s vocals through their little peaks and valleys, up through the clouds, and occasionally back to Earth. ORG, of course, did a fine job with the mastering and pressing so it’s a fine time to dive in if it’s something you’ve been considering. They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. - Sound 4/5 Hifedelty

If the world could hear every single recording ever made by one vocalist, picking Billie Holiday to make such a fantasy come true would be a stellar choice.
