Review by Mark Schauss

Lady Day The Very Best Of Billie Holiday by Billie Holiday is a must-have album for any fan of jazz and blues music. The album features 16 tracks that showcase the iconic singer's incredible voice and unique style.

The album starts off strong with the classic "Strange Fruit," a haunting song about racism and lynching in America. Billie's emotional delivery of the lyrics is truly chilling and sets the tone for the rest of the album.

Other standout tracks include "God Bless the Child," "Lover Man," and "All of Me." Each song highlights Billie's impeccable phrasing and ability to convey deep emotion through her singing.

The album also includes some of Billie's lesser-known songs, such as "Lady Sings the Blues" and "Fine and Mellow." These tracks are a great addition to the album and showcase the breadth of Billie's talent.

Notes

Almost 40 years after her death, and despite the all-encompassing rise of rock and pop music in the meantime, Billie Holiday still holds a rare, iconic sway over the imagination. She's the only jazz singer whose voice remains instantly recognizable to most people, young and old; and the very thought of her conjures up a host of images...the gardenia she wore in her hair, her Lady Day nickname, her fragile, world-weary face caught in a night-club spotlight.
Billie Holiday was the purest Jazz Singer of all. A million miles from the "band canaries" - adjunct to the big swing orchestra designed to help provide a commercial edge - she was tough and wayward in her musical life and won the respect and admiration of the (exclusively male) jazz musicians she worked with. Her thin, bluesy delivery; her habit of subtly sliding between notes and the way she would modify and reinvent the rhythmic landscape of a tune, were daring to the record buyers but natural to Holiday. Listen to the way she takes a standard song and turns it into the story of her life. This musical alchemy, performed before our very ears, is the sound of a jazz genius at work.

[ヴァース]
ああ、僕を放っておかないよね？
ああ、僕を自由にさせないよね？
僕たちを結び付けている絆は
まだ私たちの周りにあるのさ。
僕の目に写るものから逃れられないんだ。
そうなんだ、これらのつまらないものがまだ、
僕を嬉しくさせたり悲しくさせたりするんだ。

[リフレイン１]
口紅の跡がついた煙草や、
ロマンティックな場所への航空券、
それが今でも私の心を浮き立たせる。
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。
隣の部屋から聞こえる拙いピアノの音、
思わず口にでた言葉の数々、それは
　君への僕の心のうちをさらけ出してしまった
遊園地での派手な色のブランコ、
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。
君は来て、僕を見て、僕を征服した；
そんな行為を僕にした時、
ともかくそうなるべきだと分った。
僕の心を踊らせる五月の風、
電話の呼び出し音、でもどっちが出るんだい？
ああ、なんとも名残りな、君の肌の感触！
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。

[リフレイン２]
最初に届いたスイセンの花束、次に届いた長く興奮した内容の電報、
それから小さな隅のテーブルのろうそくの灯り、
それが今でも僕の心を浮き立たせる。
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。
夕方に鐘がなる頃の公園、
カモメだらけの「イル＝ド＝フランス」地方　　（※１）
スプリングの美女、　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　（※２）
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。
なんとも変で、なんとも甘い感じなのは、
君がまだそこにいると思えたから；
こんなつまらないものが僕には愛しく思え、
これらが君を近くに感じさせる。
誰もいない駅に響く真夜中の汽車のためいき、
傍らに放り出された絹の靴下に、ダンスへのお誘い、
ああ、なんとも名残りな、君の肌の感触！
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。

[リフレイン３]
枕に残るガーデニアの香水、
キロ７フランしかしない野いちご、
それが今でも僕の心を浮き立たせる。
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。
ガルボの微笑みに、薔薇の香り、　　　　　　　（※３）
バーの閉店をつげるウェイターの口笛。
クロスビーの歌声、　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　（※４）
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。
なんとも変で、なんとも甘い感じなのは、
君がまだそこにいると思えたから；
こんなつまらないものが僕には愛しく思え、
これらが君を近くに感じさせる。
枯葉の燻る匂い、泣き叫ぶスティーマーの蒸気、　（※５）
街を歩く二人の恋人はまるで夢遊病者のよう、
ああ、なんとも名残りな、あなたの肌の感触！
こんなつまらないものが
君を思い出させるんだ。

Billie Holiday is the best! Frank Sinatra said he learned everything about singing from Billie.

I've listened to Biilie many times, but her voice is just too abrasive for me. I don't really understand it.

Billie, Frank and louis, all immortal. Each one, in their own way, unique and never to be replaced.

Talk about love... was part of the antique world...in this new "brave" world that we live now, in 2021, the world of the new normal, no one talk about love. There's no love. Not anymore like in the past. We are separated, we are silenced by masks, living is constant fear of death, vaccines, isolation, hunger.

On this early recording Billie is totally immersed in with the band. The artistry involved here is magic.

Just wonderful. Teddy Wilson's orchestra; Billie's amazing voice - her musicality; the way the music goes places and takes you with it. A regular choice for tap dancing stretch down. Aaah bliss.....
Didn't realise Philip Larkin was a fan. This Be the Verse is a favourite poem.
