Psalm 100 instructs, "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord!". What more joyful sound than the life-affirming song of protest, for that is the sound wrenched from the deepest grief and suffering, from exhausted and diseased lungs, and the voice raised in tuneful protest is among the most beautiful of human sounds. Sing out, indeed! [16 July 2007]
Reviews
By Will Layman
Almost 50 years later, Holiday's sad and partly triumphant story is still ours to trivialize, as exemplified here. Sad. [7 September 2009]
By Will Layman
Some of the finest small-group swing ever, accompanying the finest body of vocal performances in jazz history. [5 October 2007]
By Robert R. Calder
Another insufficiently bargain-priced, too short selection from Billie Holiday's happiest years. [15 November 2006]
