This fourth volume of original recordings from Billie Holiday comes complete with just as many favourite vocal numbers as the previous volumes with standards such as Solitude, There Is No Greater Love and I Loves You Porgy. Her unique vocal style, characterised by a blend of hard edges and youthful simplicity, injected with an incredible amount of emotional power, influenced generations of jazz singers to come. She was also one of the first African American singers to perform with white musicians. Billie Holiday freely acknowledged her musical debt to Louis Armstrong, showing a similar approach to phrasing and a rhythmic freedom unusual for singers at the time. A must-have for any listener with an interest in jazz singing.
