Free Music Notes for Lady Day: The Complete Billie Holiday on Columbia (1933-1944) AlbumFree Music Review: The Holy Grail Of Jazz Vocals Hit: 5 StarsThis is a very attractively packaged set of some of the most important vocal jazz recordings ever put on wax. The digital remastering is what I have long been waiting for. I suffered for years with the Columbia Jazz Masterpieces issues, and it was akin to trying to listen to Billie sing underwater. Now her vocal interpretations and the sounds of her stellar backing musicians shine through with a presence that I had previously only dreamed of. There is some audible surface noise, particularly on the earlier sessions, but it serves to remind us that these are "old records" we're listening to. I'll gladly trade the faint sound of worn shellac for the great increase in fidelity. Michael Brooks' track by track commentary is always insightful, often witty, yet sometimes overly critical of the material. Trite or not, most of these numbers do swing, and they boast exemplary solo work by many of the best jazz musicians of the era. Lester Young's accompaniment on many of these recordings is the sweetest ear candy that any jazz fan could ever hope to indulge in. Highly recommended!
