Liner Note Author: Gary Giddins.
The 10-disc 2001 Grammy-winning LADY DAY: THE COMPLETE BILLIE HOLIDAY ON COLUMBIA (1933-1944) contains all of the singer's recordings for the Brunswick and Columbia labels, from her debut in 1933 with Benny Goodman to the mid-'40s when she switched to the Commodore label in order to record the controversial anti-lynching ode, "Strange Fruit." Ordinarily, a super deluxe set like this one is of interest to completist collectors only. With Billie Holiday however, nearly everything she recorded is of great musical (and historical) interest. (The compilation producers have wisely decided to save the inevitable alternate takes etc. for the later discs in the set.)
Meanwhile, we are treated to some of the greatest jazz sides ever made, celebrated standards such as "These Foolish Things" and "They Can't Take That Away From Me" in addition to the less well-known novelties--"Me, Myself, and I," "A Sailboat In the Moonlight"--which Holiday sang as if she had written them herself. Contrary to her later myth of a tragic chanteuse, the young Billie Holiday was a highly exuberant jazz singer, uncannily sure in her interpretation of lyrics and phrasing. What is striking too is how confidently she takes her place besides the greatest musicians of the era, a veritable Who's Who of Swing Era Harlem and beyond--Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, Johnny Hodges, her sympathetic leader, the pianist Teddy Wilson, and, lastly, Lester Young, with whom she achieved a justly famous rapport.
