“Young kids always ask me what my style is derived from, how it evolved, and everything else. What can I tell them? If you find a tune and it’s got something to do with you, you don’t have to evolve anything. You just feel it, and when you sing it other people can feel something too.†1 LADY DAY… Behind the evocation of the nickname bequeathed to Billie Holiday by her friend Lester Young lurks a hint of legend. Born in Baltimore in 1915, Billie Holiday led a chaotic existence, her private life sometimes taking a dramatic turn. Nevertheless, over the 44 years of her life, this African-American woman forged an extraordinary career for herself, blazing a unique and lasting trail in the world of jazz and beyond. More than any other vocalist, Billie Holiday doesn’t just sing, she literally lives the songs she sings. “Her art rests much more on a hand-to-hand struggle with text and melody, on a total investment in what becomes an intense moment of a gigantic, moving and authentic drama: her own. In other words, beyond the vocal performance, and its fading, in its slips, remains—and even amplifies—the emotional power, intact, almost heightened by the reality of hardship and suffering.†2 Lady Day’s career is of course not limited to her recordings, official or otherwise, but today they are the only truly living testimony to her art… Tracklist: 1.01 - Billie Holiday - Trav'lin' Light (3:23) 1.02 - Billie Holiday - I Love My Man (Billie's Blues) (4:08) 1.03 - Billie Holiday - I'm Gonna Lock My Heart (and Throw Away the Key) (2:09) 1.04 - Billie Holiday - Any Old Time (3:17) 1.05 - Billie Holiday - They Say (3:06) 1.06 - Billie Holiday - Solitude (3:19) 1.07 - Billie Holiday - Sugar (2:50) 1.08 - Billie Holiday - You Go to My Head (3:07) 1.09 - Billie Holiday - If Dreams Come True (3:18) 1.10 - Billie Holiday - Fine and Mellow (2:55) 1.11 - Billie Holiday - (I Got a Man, Crazy for Me) He's Funny That Way (2:42) 1.12 - Billie Holiday - I'll Never Be The Same (3:04) 1.13 - Billie Holiday - Mean To Me (3:09) 1.14 - Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit (3:16) 1.15 - Billie Holiday - You're a Lucky Guy (2:47) 1.16 - Billie Holiday - The Very Thought of You (2:45) 1.17 - Billie Holiday - You're So Desirable (2:54) 1.18 - Billie Holiday - Swing, Brother Swing (1:53) 1.19 - Billie Holiday - Things Are Looking Up (3:15) 1.20 - Billie Holiday - Eeny Meeny Miney Mo (2:50) 2.01 - Billie Holiday - Practice Makes Perfect (3:22) 2.02 - Billie Holiday - Georgia On My Mind (3:19) 2.03 - Billie Holiday - Laughing at Life (2:55) 2.04 - Billie Holiday - Body and Soul (3:02) 2.05 - Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You (3:34) 2.06 - Billie Holiday - All of Me (3:05) 2.07 - Billie Holiday - Let's Do It (2:59) 2.08 - Billie Holiday - Gloomy Sunday (3:16) 2.09 - Billie Holiday - Time on My Hands (You in My Arms) (3:06) 2.10 - Billie Holiday - St. Louis Blues (2:56) 2.11 - Billie Holiday - God Bless the Child (2:58) 2.12 - Billie Holiday - I Cover The Waterfront (3:00) 2.13 - Billie Holiday - I'll Get By (3:03) 2.14 - Billie Holiday - Do Nothin' till You Hear from Me (3:33) 2.15 - Billie Holiday - Lover Come Back to Me (3:22) 2.16 - Billie Holiday - Don't Explain (3:26) 2.17 - Billie Holiday - On the Sunny Side of the Street (3:05) 2.18 - Billie Holiday - Big Stuff (2:33) 2.19 - Billie Holiday - Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?
