Product Description:

2008 three CD set. Billie Holiday is widely accepted as the greatest female Jazz singer of all. Music gave her solace from a terrible childhood, providing an escape route to singing in New York clubs. Discovered by John Hammond, she found ideal accompanists in Teddy Wilson and Lester Young to form profound artistic alliances and produce a unique body of work. This triple disc set features 58 tracks including 'I Wished on the Moon', 'Billie's Blues', 'The Way You Look Tonight', 'God Bless the Child', 'Strange Fruit' and more. Intro.
