Title: relaxed and mellow
Product review: Famous detour between Holiday's "Columbia" and "Decca" recordings, "Commodore" dared to record/release "Strange Fruit" and here is the rest.Besides that famous protest song,the rest is as usual ultra-mellow and relaxed but not so different from what Lady did with "Columbia" - she floats through set of standards (and even re-records her own "I Cover The Waterfront") backed by small combo and is in sparkling form.If you don't know better,you would think these are her famous small-band "Columbia" recordings.The very next moment she would switch to "Decca" and sing with strings and backing chorus.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
