Title: That lazy growl...
Product review: I am hooked on this "Columbia" collections of complete works of young Billie Holiday.It seems I am listening this CD's every other day and always find new favourites - as years progressed her voice was better and better,always that same lazy growl that matched perfectly her brilliant musicians (Teddy Wilson,Johny Hodges,Lester young and Buck Clayton to name just a few).On this CD are some beautiful examples of immortal Billie Holiday in her prime,when she was a young woman who enjoyed life:"They Cant Take That Away From Me" is simply one of the best versions ever.The only thing I dont understand is why Michael Brooks in his liner notes writtes that 1937.was her best and happiest year,when she just returned from disastrous tour in the South with Count Basie Band,promising to herself never to sing with big band again and not having enough money for a subway.In my opinion that doesnt sound like the happiest moment of one's life.
