Product Description

Down Beat (6/97, p.64) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...the songs were very good and the performances often very moving....these records are so basic to Holiday's work, they remain indispensible..."
Jazz Times (8/97, p.84) - "The release of this two-disc set will come as a welcome closure to Holiday collectors the world over....she instinctively knew when her interpretation of a particular song was `right.' Her alternates are like works in progress..."
